ci siamo chiesti quale potrebbe essere il suono del Rock Progressivo del
futuro, ho provato nel mio piccolo a contribuire al quesito pubblicando per
Arcana Edizioni un libro al riguardo intitolato “Post Prog Moderno”, cercando
di analizzare le band che hanno nel proprio intento quello di spostare le
coordinate del genere attraverso il rispetto del passato rivisitato con nuove
idee e, giustamente, le sonorità moderne. Sicuramente il pubblico radicato al
Prog Rock storico degli anni ’70 non gradisce il cambiamento, proprio per
questo ho pensato di nominarlo Post Prog Moderno, con l’intento di tracciare
una riga temporale e stilistica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Si
è detto altresì che oggi molto è stato già creato e che quindi è sempre più
difficile cercare nuove soluzioni, ma malgrado ciò, esistono sempre gruppi che
fanno della musica il piacere di ricercare.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;L’Inghilterra
è stata sempre la patria del Rock Progressive, e anche in quello moderno
vogliono dimostrare di meritare lo scettro della non convenzionalità. Una band
che tengo sotto osservazione dal tempo è quella dei Koyo (in italiano Cojote).
Si forma nel 2015 a Leeds, da un’idea degli ex colleghi di conservatorio Huw Edwards
(voce, chitarra), Jacob Price (campionamento, sintetizzatori), Seb Knee-Wright (chitarre),
Dan Comlay (basso) e Tom Higham (batteria), amanti di gruppi come Ozric Tentacles,
The Velvet Underground e My Bloody Valentine. Danno alla stampa solo due album
in studio e un live, a dimostrazione di non voler pubblicare forzatamente un
qualcosa d’incompleto, piuttosto di ponderato e curato. Come tutti i veri
artisti si curano poco del parere dei propri fans, mutando nel tempo le proprie
coordinate stilistiche. Attraverso questo terzo album intitolato “Onism” ne
abbiamo un’ulteriore conferma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Potremmo
usare anche il termine Rock Alternativo e Psichedelico, ma questo si sa che è
il problema di quando una band ha un carattere personale davvero marcato, che
induce uno scribacchino come me a non inserirli in un contesto specifico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Infatti
“La Cucaracha”, in barba al titolo, si presenta con un riff forte e un
andamento martellante da sembrare quasi un ossimoro. Il basso roboante di
Complay apre “Mechanical Bull”, immaginate di ascoltare i Radiohead non
eccessivamente tristi ma con quelle chitarre che negli assolo non si aprono a
inutili elucubrazioni, bensì a brevi movimenti nervosi. Buona anche la cura per
le coralità. Di base in questa musica c’è attenzione per le melodie, mai perse
di vista in quest’andirivieni di suoni elettrici. “Hooked” prosegue il lavoro
ai fianchi dell’ascoltatore proponendo un sound possentemente Rock che fa da
contraltare al cantato elegante e pacato di Edwards. I riff procedono
attraverso piccole influenze Grunge con “Electric Eel”, ma per ascoltare
qualcosa di altamente ricercato, bisogna arrivare alla strumentale “Dark
Horse”, qui i Koyo fanno seriamente, realizzando sei minuti di musica energica
e non banale, grazie a interventi campionati e una ritmica possente. Qui sì che
la chitarra elettrica mostra i propri muscoli.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Impossibile
rimanere indifferenti avanti a “Into The Dirt”, un vero e proprio schiaffo
sonoro. Molti di voi già si staranno chiedendo dove risiede allora il Rock
Progressivo, la risposta è semplice, sta nei numerosi cambi di tempo, di umore
e nella cura dei particolari. Certo non sono i Genesis! Il pezzo più lungo ha
la durata di otto minuti e mezzo e s’intitola “Is This Real”. L’ascolto ci
propone un nuovo approccio alla musica da parte della band, curato e per certi
versi inatteso, con una maggiore attenzione per gli arrangiamenti. Persino il
vocale è in falsetto. A proposito di stranezze entrate in “Stoneman” e allora
vi accorgerete della vastità del mondo Koyo. Il brano conclusivo a mia
disposizione è una bonus track sanguigna intitolata “Existential Crisis”, nomen
omen. Concludendo, “Onism” è un disco che non passa di certo in sordina, un
lavoro che ha picchi d’interesse molto alti, a tratti geniali. Questo è il
bello della musica per chi fa di essa un credo di vita e non semplicemente una
colonna sonora di sottofondo per le giornate spensierate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Che botta!

Progressive Rock of the future, I have tried in my own small way to contribute
to the question by publishing for Arcana Edizioni a book about it entitled
“Post Prog Modern”, trying to analyze the bands that have in their intent to
shift the coordinates of the genre through the respect of the past revisited
with new ideas and, rightly, modern sounds. Certainly audiences rooted in the
historical Prog Rock of the 1970s do not like the change, which is precisely
why I thought of naming it Post Modern Prog, with the intention of drawing a
line in time and style.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;It has also been said that today much has already been
created and therefore it is increasingly difficult to seek new solutions, but
in spite of this, there are always groups that make music the pleasure of
research.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;England has always been the home of Progressive Rock,
and even in the modern one they want to prove that they deserve the scepter of
unconventionality. One band I have been keeping an eye on for some time is Koyo
(Italian for Cojote). It was formed in 2015 in Leeds, the brainchild of former
conservatory colleagues Huw Edwards (vocals, guitar), Jacob Price (sampling,
synthesizers), Seb Knee-Wright (guitars), Dan Comlay (bass) and Tom Higham (drums),
lovers of bands such as Ozric Tentacles, The Velvet Underground and My Bloody
Valentine.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;They give the press only two studio albums and one
live album, demonstrating that they do not want to forcibly release something
incomplete, rather something thoughtful and curated. Like all true artists they
care little for the opinion of their fans, changing their stylistic coordinates
over time. Through this third album entitled “Onism” we have further
confirmation of this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;We could also use the term Alternative and Psychedelic
Rock, but this is known to be the problem when a band has a really marked personal
character, which induces a scribe like me not to put them in a specific
context.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In fact, “La Cucaracha”, in defiance of its title,
comes on with a strong riff and a pounding progression that almost sounds like
an oxymoron. Complay&#39;s bombastic bass opens “Mechanical Bull”, imagine
listening to Radiohead not overly sad but with those guitars that in the solos
don&#39;t open up to unnecessary lucubration but rather to short, nervous
movements. Good attention to the choruses as well. Basic in this music there is
attention to melodies, never lost sight of in this coming and going of electric
sounds. “Hooked” continues the work at the listener&#39;s sides by offering a
powerfully Rock sound that counterbalances Edwards&#39; elegant and calm singing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The riffs proceed through small Grunge influences with
“Electric Eel”, but to hear something highly researched, you have to get to the
instrumental “Dark Horse”, here Koyo get serious, making six minutes of
energetic and non-trivial music, thanks to sampled interventions and a mighty
rhythm. Now that&#39;s where the electric guitar shows its muscles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Impossible to remain indifferent ahead of “Into The
Dirt”, a real sonic slap in the face. Many of you may already be wondering
where Progressive Rock resides then, the answer is simple, it lies in the
numerous changes of tempo, mood and attention to detail. Certainly it is not
Genesis! The longest piece has a duration of eight and a half minutes and is
entitled “Is This Real”. Listening to it offers us a new, polished and in some
ways unexpected approach to music by the band, with more attention to
arrangements. Even the vocals are in falsetto. Speaking of oddities enter
“Stoneman” and then you will realize the vastness of the Koyo world. The final
track available to me is a sanguine bonus track entitled “Existential Crisis”,
nomen omen. In conclusion, “Onism” is a record that certainly does not go
unnoticed, a work that has very high peaks of interest, brilliant at times.
This is the beauty of music for those who make it a credo of life and not

nascondo il piacere che provo nell&#39;imbattermi in nuove band di giovani
musicisti che scelgono di approcciarsi a una musica distante dal banale. I Mai
Più Inverno provengono da un territorio situato tra la Valchiavenna e il Lago
di Como, cimentandosi in un Folk di stampo cantautorale caratterizzato da forti
influenze anni ’70. Tra la strumentazione adoperata spiccano il bouzouki e il
violino, ma sono soprattutto le chitarre a dominare la scena. L’acquerello in
copertina, opera di Bruno Ritter, rappresenta perfettamente lo spirito del
disco: durante l’ascolto si ha la costante sensazione di trovarsi di fronte a
colori tenui e a un velo di malinconia. Le fotografie e il progetto grafico
sono invece stati curati da Gabriella Sacco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Hanno
suonato nel disco: Domenico Vitali (chitarre, voci, basso), Francesco Via (chitarre,
voci, basso, tastiere, flauto traverso), Samuele Rabbiosi (chitarre, bouzouki),
Lorenzo &quot;Bubi&quot; Montani (percussioni), Stefano Spagnolatti (batteria),
Elia Mazzoletti (voci, batteria e percussioni), Luca Peverelli (voci), Teresa
Puglia (violino, voci) e Anna Bongianni (voci).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Ad
Astra” apre il percorso mettendo subito in evidenza l&#39;anima mediterranea di un
Folk cantato in modo sentito ed energico; sembra quasi di ascoltare un
Francesco Guccini ritmato e risoluto. Molto efficace, in questo contesto, l&#39;uso
delle coralità. Con “Donna Di Sale” la metrica lirica viene utilizzata in modo
non convenzionale, ricordando l&#39;approccio dell&#39;indimenticato Ivan Graziani in
brani come “Scappo Di Casa”. I testi restano il fulcro del progetto e danno
voce a un lamento per ciò che è destinato a scomparire; arpeggi di chitarra,
percussioni e arrangiamenti essenziali rendono questo pezzo una piccola gemma e
un vero grido di protesta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
ritmo cambia in “L’Oroscopo”, dove si nota un occhio di riguardo per i cori che
fanno da controcanto a una voce incisiva, coerente con il contenuto dei testi.
La ritmica spezzata dona giocosità all&#39;ascolto, pur restando fedele alla
formula della canzone colta degli anni ’70. A metà brano subentrano le chitarre
elettriche a farla da padrone e l&#39;insieme si accosta notevolmente allo stile
dei Modena City Ramblers, specialmente con l&#39;innesto del violino. Il finale
sorprende con soavi armonie vocali maschili e femminili. Le parole crude di
“Caterina È Morta Caterina Vola” si contrappongono al dolce arpeggio in stile
Angelo Branduardi in una traccia ben strutturata, mentre “La Piazza In Festa”
mostra il lato più gioviale della band, arricchito da sfumature Progressive
Folk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Gli
Scemodiguerra (Elia Mazzoletti e Luca Peverelli) intervengono nella veloce
“Icaromenippo”, una ballata trascinante. A seguire troviamo “Fuori Rotta /
Minotauro”, introdotta dal pianoforte, in cui i Mai Più Inverno mostrano
appieno la propria preparazione tecnica; la canzone è ricca di variazioni
d&#39;atmosfera e l’ingresso della chitarra acustica apre ampi respiri melodici che
cedono successivamente il passo a una sezione più dura e diretta. L&#39;intro di
“Encelado”, affidato a più chitarre, richiama le sonorità dei Genesis, ma con
l&#39;ingresso della voce si torna allo stile cantautorale che ha saputo cullarci
fino a questo momento. Allo stesso modo, “Ultimo Saturnale” prosegue
coerentemente lungo questo binario espressivo. Chiude la bella ballata “Ritorno
/ Tutto È Compiuto” questo debutto che ci presenta una formazione dalle idee
già chiare, capace di fare la gioia di chi è ancora legato a sonorità classiche
e senza tempo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Ascolto Bandcamp:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;https://maipiuinverno.bandcamp.com/album/lass-gli-ultimi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/USNJssyhAF0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;USNJssyhAF0&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Versione Inglese:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;MAI

bands of young musicians who choose to approach music that stays far from the
mundane. Mai Più Inverno hail from a region nestled between Valchiavenna and
Lake Como, venturing into a singer-songwriter style of Folk characterized by
strong 1970s influences. Among the instrumentation used, the bouzouki and
violin stand out, but it is primarily the guitars that dominate the scene. The
watercolor on the cover, a work by Bruno Ritter, perfectly represents the
spirit of the album: while listening, one has the constant sensation of facing
soft colors and a veil of melancholy. The photographs and graphic design were
curated by Gabriella Sacco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Performed on the album by: Domenico Vitali (guitars,
vocals, bass), Francesco Via (guitars, vocals, bass, keyboards, flute), Samuele
Rabbiosi (guitars, bouzouki), Lorenzo &quot;Bubi&quot; Montani (percussion),
Stefano Spagnolatti (drums), Elia Mazzoletti (vocals, drums, and percussion),
Luca Peverelli (vocals), Teresa Puglia (violin, vocals), and Anna Bongianni
(vocals).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Ad Astra” opens the journey, immediately
highlighting—in just two minutes—the Mediterranean soul of a Folk sung in a
heartfelt and energetic manner; it feels almost like listening to a rhythmic
and resolute Francesco Guccini. The use of choral harmonies is very effective
in this context. In “Donna Di Sale”, the lyrical meter is used
unconventionally, reminiscent of the approach used by the unforgettable Ivan
Graziani in tracks like “Scappo Di Casa”. The lyrics remain the heart of the
project, giving voice to a lament for things destined to disappear; guitar
arpeggios, percussion, and essential arrangements make this piece a small gem
and a true cry of protest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The rhythm changes in “L’Oroscopo”, where a particular
focus is placed on the choirs that act as a counterpoint to an incisive voice,
consistent with the content of the lyrics. The broken rhythm lends a
playfulness to the listen, while remaining faithful to the &quot;cultured
song&quot; formula of the 1970s. Midway through the track, electric guitars
take center stage, bringing the ensemble notably close to the style of Modena
City Ramblers, especially with the introduction of the violin. The finale
surprises with sweet male and female vocal harmonies. The raw words of
“Caterina È Morta Caterina Vola” contrast with the sweet arpeggio in the style
of Angelo Branduardi in a well-structured track, while “La Piazza In Festa”
showcases the band&#39;s more jovial side, enriched by Progressive Folk nuances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Scemodiguerra (Elia Mazzoletti and Luca Peverelli)
contribute to the fast-paced “Icaromenippo”, a driving ballade. This is
followed by “Fuori Rotta / Minotauro”, introduced by the piano, where Mai Più
Inverno fully demonstrate their technical proficiency; the song is rich in
atmospheric variations, and the entry of the acoustic guitar opens up wide
melodic breaths that subsequently give way to a harder, more direct section.
The intro of “Encelado”, featuring multiple guitars, evokes the sound of
Genesis, but once the vocals arrive, we return to the singer-songwriter style
that has cradled us thus far. Similarly, “Ultimo Saturnale” follows this
expressive path without deviation. The beautiful ballad “Ritorno / Tutto È

doveroso ridare voce a questo lavoro della band bresciana Psycho Praxis: è
inconcepibile che un disco simile resti nell&#39;ombra. Sebbene nell&#39;anno della sua
uscita, il 2012, abbia ricevuto recensioni discrete, il suo reale valore
qualitativo è superiore a quanto allora sostenuto dalla critica. Nonostante la
partecipazione al Veruno 2Days Prog +1 nel 2013, “Echoes From The Deep” è
scivolato troppo presto nel dimenticatoio, eppure, riascoltato oggi e
confrontato con le produzioni attuali, si rivela un&#39;opera straordinaria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Siete
amanti del Prog italiano anni &#39;70 e di pilastri come Genesis, Camel, Jethro
Tull, Pink Floyd, Van Der Graaf Generator o Osanna? Allora mettetevi comodi e
avventuratevi in questo ascolto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;L&#39;allora
giovane formazione schierava Paolo Vacchelli (chitarre), Matteo Marini (basso e
chitarra acustica), Paolo Tognazzi (tastiere e glockenspiel), Andrea Calzoni
(voce e flauto) e Matteo Tognazzi (batteria). I musicisti non disdegnano
passaggi vigorosi in territori Hard Prog, ma eccellono soprattutto nelle
scorribande strumentali, capaci di regalare brividi agli appassionati. La voce
di Calzoni è ottima, potente, misurata e a tratti accostabile al timbro di
Bernardo Lanzetti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Già
“Privileged Station” è un brano che fugge e si rincorre, mettendo in risalto un
amalgama invidiabile e una capacità compositiva fuori dal comune, sorprendente
se si considera che parliamo di un debutto. In certi passaggi evocano gli
Atomic Rooster in chiave Progressive Rock, con cambi di ritmo che richiamano i
Pink Floyd di “Echoes”. Il flauto, invece, omaggia lo stile energico di Ian
Anderson. Dominato dall&#39;organo, questo è probabilmente l&#39;episodio più potente
del disco, con un finale chitarristico in pieno stile Genesis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Segue
“PSM”, un brano puramente Prog dall&#39;atmosfera gotica e inquietante, enfatizzata
dai sintetizzatori. L&#39;outro d&#39;organo suona sinistro per tutta la durata,
inseguito da una chitarra elettrica in stato di grazia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Hoodlums”
è una vera chicca: fonde venature Blues a una melodia coinvolgente, vicina al
sound nordico di band come gli Änglagård. Il ritornello è trascinante, pur
avendo un sapore familiare. Da sottolineare l&#39;eccellente sezione ritmica e la prova
vocale di Calzoni, oltre a un passaggio psichedelico di flauto di rara
bellezza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In
“Black Crow”, le influenze dei Genesis anni &#39;70 si mescolano a quelle del Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, un connubio che parla da sé. Segue il potente strumentale
“Awareness”, guidato dall&#39;organo Hammond e caratterizzato da un incedere degno
di una colonna sonora horror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Chiude
il disco la splendida “Noon”, un brano che non si vorrebbe veder finire mai,
impreziosito da inserti Jazz e richiami agli olandesi Focus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;“Echoes From The Deep” merita giustizia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;È
inaccettabile che una gemma simile venga ignorata o sommersa da produzioni
mediocri. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Psycho Praxis,

line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;It is only right to give a voice back to this work by
the Brescia-based band Psycho Praxis: it is inconceivable that such a record
remains in the shadows. Although it received decent reviews upon its release in
2012, its true qualitative value far exceeds what the critics claimed at the
time. Despite their appearance at the 2013 Veruno 2Days Prog +1, “Echoes From
The Deep” slipped into obscurity far too soon. Yet, listened to today and
compared with current productions, it reveals itself as an extraordinary work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Are you a lover of 1970s Italian Prog and pillars such
as Genesis, Camel, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Van Der Graaf Generator, or Osanna?
Then make yourself comfortable and venture into this listening experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The then-young lineup featured Paolo Vacchelli
(guitars), Matteo Marini (bass and acoustic guitar), Paolo Tognazzi (keyboards
and glockenspiel), Andrea Calzoni (vocals and flute), and Matteo Tognazzi
(drums). The musicians do not shy away from vigorous passages into Hard Prog
territories, but they especially excel in instrumental excursions capable of
giving fans the chills. Calzoni’s vocals are excellent: powerful, measured, and
at times reminiscent of Bernardo Lanzetti’s timbre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Right from the start, “Privileged Station” is a track
that flees and chases itself, highlighting an enviable chemistry and an
extraordinary compositional skill—all the more surprising considering it is a
debut. In certain passages, they evoke Atomic Rooster in a Progressive Rock
key, with rhythm changes that recall Pink Floyd’s “Echoes.” The flute,
meanwhile, pays homage to the energetic style of Ian Anderson. Dominated by the
organ, this is likely the most powerful episode on the record, featuring a
guitar finale in pure Genesis style.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Next is “PSM,” a purely Prog track with a gothic and
haunting atmosphere emphasized by synthesizers. The organ outro sounds sinister
throughout, pursued by an electric guitar in a state of grace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Hoodlums” is a true gem: it blends bluesy undertones
with an engaging melody, close to the Nordic sound of bands like Änglagård. The
chorus is infectious, despite having a familiar feel. The excellent rhythmic
section and Calzoni’s vocal performance deserve mention, along with a
psychedelic flute passage of rare beauty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In “Black Crow,” 1970s Genesis influences mix with
those of Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso—a combination that speaks for itself. This is
followed by the powerful instrumental “Awareness,” led by the Hammond organ and
characterized by a pace worthy of a horror movie soundtrack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The record closes with the splendid “Noon,” a track
you never want to end, embellished with Jazz inserts and nods to the Dutch band
Focus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Echoes From The Deep” deserves justice. It is
unacceptable for such a gem to be ignored or buried under a mountain of

nella musica, non occorrono grandi sovrastrutture per colpire l’animo
dell’ascoltatore, sono sufficienti eleganza e buone idee compositive. Su queste
basi ha costruito la propria carriera Georgeanne Kalweit, cantautrice, artista
visiva e performer. Originaria di Minneapolis ma residente in Italia da oltre
trent’anni, ha dedicato la propria vita all’arte e alla sperimentazione sonora.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Dopo
le esperienze con i Delta V (2000–2004), i Kalweit And The Spokes (2009–2015) e
il The Kalweit Project (2016–2020), l’autrice ritorna con un’opera strettamente
personale e intimista, in cui voce, scrittura ed estetica si fondono
perfettamente. Il suo percorso vanta collaborazioni di prestigio con artisti
del calibro di The Dining Rooms, Vinicio Capossela e Calibro 35.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Le
fondamenta di “Tiny Space” vengono gettate nel 2022 al suo trasferimento a
Milano. Reduce da un divorzio, Georgeanne inizia a comporre le bozze del nuovo
album utilizzando un organo Bontempi e una tastiera Technics. Il risultato
finale è un insieme di dieci tracce, racchiuse in una copertina a tecnica mista
realizzata dalla stessa cantante, con la grafica curata da Stefano Siboni.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;A
livello sonoro emergono influenze riconducibili a PJ Harvey e ai Velvet
Underground di Lou Reed, alternando momenti più ruvidi all’Indie Pop
statunitense. Ad accompagnare Georgeanne (voce e tastiere) troviamo i musicisti
Giovanni Ferrario (basso, tastiere, programmazione), Lorenzo Corti (chitarra,
organo), Beppe Mondini (batteria) e Diego Sapignoli (batteria, vibrafono).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;L’album
è introdotto dalla title track, “Tiny Space”, il cui video anticipa un viaggio
sonoro che esplora il dolore per una perdita affettiva e la volontà di guarire.
In poco più di tre minuti, l’artista emerge come da una soffice nuvola
psichedelica anni ’60, guidata da melodie sognanti e aggraziate. Segue
“Egoverse”, un brano costruito su poche note e strumenti quasi sussurrati, dove
la voce della Kalweit gioca con tonalità diverse senza mai eccedere. Il tema
centrale è il desiderio di affermazione che si scontra con l&#39;insicurezza,
sfociando in una sorta di autocensura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;La
voglia di rimettersi in gioco dopo una delusione amorosa e la necessità di
riconquistare la fiducia in se stessi animano “Heavenly Thoughts”, una ballata
malinconica sempre incline a venature psichedeliche. Proseguendo nell&#39;ascolto
il ritmo si alza, sfociando in un Post-Punk incalzante arricchito da effetti
eco e inserti elettronici. Sulla stessa scia tematica si inserisce “Call An
Ambulance”, dove il suono si fa minimale per dare massimo risalto alla parola.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;I
toni si accendono con “Ten Pins”, un brano in crescendo che utilizza il bowling
come allegoria per descrivere il crollo di una relazione conflittuale. Le
tastiere accompagnano poi la malinconica “Soft Shoulder”, esplorando fragilità
che ricordano certe atmosfere dei Radiohead, mentre “Crystal Clear” celebra la
rinascita post-rottura con un vigore vicino allo stile di PJ Harvey,
impreziosito da cori e suoni distanti che donano profondità all’ascolto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
disco prepara poi l&#39;ascoltatore a una nuova stagione della vita con “Fumbling
Through February”: il mese di febbraio diventa metafora della primavera che si
prepara sotto il gelo. La traccia è delicata e piacevole, pur mantenendo
l&#39;impronta psichedelica del lavoro. In “International Intrigue Time Zone”,
l’autrice si affida all’istinto per tracciare un percorso sensuale in cui la perdita
di controllo diventa piacere. È uno dei momenti più sperimentali dell’album,
caratterizzato da soluzioni elettroniche e un ottimo gioco vocale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;La
chiusura è affidata a “Bullet Holes”, due minuti minimali e dal piglio
marziale. La bravura di Georgeanne Kalweit risiede nel saper coniugare
tematiche forti e private a una musica che si fa perfetta narratrice dei
sentimenti, messi a nudo senza troppi fronzoli. Si bada al sodo e ci si
emoziona insieme a lei: in fondo, è proprio questo il senso della musica. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;(Uscita 20 / 03 / 2026)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/8-Nro-pi5aE&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;8-Nro-pi5aE&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Versione Inglese:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;GEORGEANNE

strike the listener&#39;s soul; elegance and strong compositional ideas are enough.
It is on these foundations that Georgeanne Kalweit—singer-songwriter, visual
artist, and performer—has built her career. Originally from Minneapolis but a
resident of Italy for over thirty years, she has dedicated her life to art and
sonic experimentation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;After her experiences with Delta V (2000–2004),
Kalweit And The Spokes (2009–2015), and The Kalweit Project (2016–2020), the
artist returns with a deeply personal and intimate work where voice,
songwriting, and aesthetics merge perfectly. Her career boasts prestigious
collaborations with the likes of The Dining Rooms, Vinicio Capossela, and
Calibro 35.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The foundations of “Tiny Space” were laid in 2022 upon
her move to Milan. Following a divorce, Georgeanne began composing the sketches
for the new album using a Bontempi organ and a Technics keyboard. The final
result is a collection of ten tracks, encased in mixed-media cover art created
by the singer herself, with graphics by Stefano Siboni.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Sonically, influences traceable to PJ Harvey and Lou
Reed’s Velvet Underground emerge, alternating between grittier moments and
American Indie Pop. Accompanying Georgeanne (vocals and keyboards) are
musicians Giovanni Ferrario (bass, keyboards, programming), Lorenzo Corti
(guitar, organ), Beppe Mondini (drums), and Diego Sapignoli (drums,
vibraphone).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The album is introduced by the title track, “Tiny
Space,” whose video previews a sonic journey exploring the pain of emotional
loss and the will to heal. In just over three minutes, the artist emerges as if
from a soft 1960s psychedelic cloud, guided by dreamy, graceful melodies. This
is followed by “Egoverse,” a song built on a few notes and nearly whispered
instruments, where Kalweit’s voice plays with different registers without ever
overreaching. The central theme is the desire for self-assertion clashing with
insecurity, resulting in a kind of self-censorship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The desire to get back into the game after a
heartbreak and the need to regain self-confidence drive “Heavenly Thoughts,” a
melancholy ballad always leaning toward psychedelic nuances. As the listening
progresses, the tempo picks up, flowing into an urgent Post-Punk enriched by
echo effects and electronic inserts. On the same thematic wave is “Call An
Ambulance,” where the sound becomes minimal to give maximum prominence to the
lyrics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The tone shifts with “Ten Pins,” a building track that
uses bowling as an allegory for the collapse of a conflicted relationship.
Keyboards then accompany the melancholic “Soft Shoulder,” exploring fragilities
reminiscent of certain Radiohead atmospheres, while “Crystal Clear” celebrates
post-breakup rebirth with a vigor close to PJ Harvey&#39;s style, enhanced by
backing vocals and distant sounds that provide depth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The record then prepares the listener for a new season
of life with “Fumbling Through February”: the month of February becomes a
metaphor for spring preparing beneath the frost. The track is pleasant and
delicate, yet maintains the album&#39;s psychedelic imprint. In “International Intrigue
Time Zone,” the author relies on instinct to trace a sensual path where losing
control becomes pleasurable. This is one of the most experimental moments of
the album, characterized by electronic solutions and excellent vocal interplay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The closing is entrusted to “Bullet Holes,” two
minimal minutes with a martial feel. Georgeanne Kalweit’s talent lies in her
ability to combine strong, private themes with music that serves as a perfect
narrator of emotions, laid bare without unnecessary frills. She gets straight
to the point, allowing us to feel the emotion alongside her—which, after all,

siamo abituati a subire la musica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;No,
non voglio fare un preambolo pessimistico o quantomeno nostalgico da vecchio
boomer, ma è la cruda realtà delle cose. Le mode passano da sempre, gli artisti
vengono imposti dai media e quant’altro conosciamo a menadito per un risultato
impalpabile che non lascia segno del proprio passaggio negli anni. Se a questo
si aggiunge che la musica oggi è liquida, allora siamo davvero consapevoli che
la situazione sta sfuggendo di mano (per non parlare dell’IA). Per questo sono
felice quando ancora mi imbatto in piccole etichette che, come salmoni contro
corrente, si adoperano per far uscire musica sia in supporto ottico che vinilico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In
questo contesto, seppure soltanto in CD, si adopera anche il duo Blondiefox,
formato da Mirko DeFox Galliazzo (voce) e Paul Blondie Gidoni (chitarra, basso,
tastiere, cori), anche Axe Hero e successivamente X-Hero. Assieme a loro
partecipano Roberto Benna e Aldo Menti alle chitarre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Lo
scenario è quello del Rock accattivante e a tratti ricercato, cantato in
italiano e con testi interessanti. L’interno del disco cita: “Candele spente
che io riaccenderò. Pietre nella memoria dei nomi inciderò. La terra stringo,
sollevo avanti a te. Il ricordo, il rimorso, d’esser vivo, d’esser morto”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Le
undici canzoni sono state registrate a Valdagno nei White Studios nel 1997 e
rimasterizzate da Pretty Master EQ in Alaska nel 2022.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Save
Your Life” inizia il percorso con caparbietà e intensità, a tratti adiacente al
mondo dei Litfiba, dove la personalità vocale di Galliazzo, comunque distante
da quella di Piero Pelù, gioca un ruolo di primo piano. La scena resta vigorosa
con “Il Triste Canto Dell’Uomo Bianco”, dove le chitarre elettriche disegnano
riff e assolo godibili. Momenti introspettivi giungono da “Unico Vero Peccato”,
dai testi toccanti, dove la voce e le tastiere conducono verso un cantautorato
elegante di facile fruizione. La title track è cadenzata nell’incedere,
rispettosa della formula canzone supportata da interventi di cori. Il pezzo
evidenzia la conoscenza del duo riguardo al mondo della musica italiana
attraverso una classe decisamente spontanea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Con
“Close Your Eyes” s’intravedono momenti Prog a disposizione della melodia
tipicamente mediterranea, un connubio interessante che fa del pezzo uno dei
frangenti più interessanti dell’album. Sale il ritmo con “Domani O Forse Mai”,
per poi tornare nel pacato con l’ottima “Mama”, altra composizione ricercata e
ben interpretata dalla voce di Mirko DeFox Galliazzo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Che
Te” ha schegge di anni ’70 e ’80, altra vetrina per voce e tastiere che
sfociano in un crescendo dove la chitarra elettrica fa da splendido suggello.
Una curiosa parentesi sonora strumentale giunge dall’elettronica e dal basso di
“Burocratias”, che fa staffetta a “L’anima Gratuita Crudeltà”, pezzo Rock di
facile memorizzazione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
disco si conclude con “Palenque”, altro strumentale in cui l’elettronica segna
un passo costante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Per
diritto di cronaca, devo sottolineare che nel disco tutte le parti della
batteria sono elettroniche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Senza
Universo” è un lavoro variegato e scorrevole, fra passaggi tipici della nostra
cultura italica e la voglia di sperimentare, di certo un approccio non del
tutto scontato per quello che concerne il nostro intendere la formula canzone.
Piacevole. MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/wRMILeOVT5c&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;wRMILeOVT5c&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Versione Inglese:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;BLONDIEFOX

preamble like an old boomer, but it&#39;s the harsh reality. Trends come and go,
artists are imposed by the media and all that, and we know it all too well,
resulting in an intangible outcome that leaves no mark over the years. If we
add to this that music today is liquid, then we&#39;re really aware that the
situation is getting out of hand (not to mention AI). That&#39;s why I&#39;m happy when
I still come across small labels that, like salmon swimming upstream, work hard
to release music in both optical and vinyl formats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In this context, albeit only on CD, the duo Blondiefox
is also working hard, consisting of Mirko DeFox Galliazzo (vocals) and Paul
Blondie Gidoni (guitar, bass, keyboards, backing vocals), also known from Axe
Hero and later X-Hero. Joining them are Roberto Benna and Aldo Menti on
guitars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The scenario is that of catchy and sometimes
sophisticated Rock, sung in Italian with interesting lyrics. The inside of the
disc quotes: “Extinguished candles that I will relight. Stones in the memory of
names I will etch. The earth I grasp, I lift up before you. The memory, the
remorse, of being alive, of being dead.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The eleven songs were recorded in Valdagno at White
Studios in 1997 and remastered by Pretty Master EQ in Alaska in 2022.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Save Your Life” starts the journey with determination
and intensity, at times adjacent to the world of Litfiba, where Galliazzo&#39;s
vocal personality, quite different from Piero Pelù&#39;s, plays a leading role. The
scene remains vigorous with “Il Triste Canto Dell’Uomo Bianco”, where electric
guitars draw enjoyable riffs and solos. Introspective moments come from “Unico
Vero Peccato”, with touching lyrics where vocals and keyboards lead to an
elegant songwriting style that&#39;s easy to appreciate. The title track is cadenced
in its pace, respectful of the song formula supported by choir interventions.
The piece highlights the duo&#39;s knowledge of the Italian music world through a
decidedly spontaneous class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;With “Close Your Eyes”, Prog moments are glimpsed in
the service of typically Mediterranean melody, an interesting combination that
makes the piece one of the most interesting moments of the album. The rhythm
picks up with “Domani O Forse Mai”, only to return to a calm pace with the
excellent “Mama”, another sophisticated composition well-interpreted by Mirko
DeFox Galliazzo&#39;s voice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Che Te” has shards of the &#39;70s and &#39;80s, another
showcase for vocals and keyboards that culminate in a crescendo where electric
guitar makes a splendid seal. A curious sonic instrumental parenthesis comes
from the electronics and bass of “Burocratias”, which hands over to “L’anima
Gratuita Crudeltà”, a Rock piece with easy memorability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The disc concludes with “Palenque”, another
instrumental where electronics mark a steady pace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;For the sake of accuracy, I must point out that in the
disc, all drum parts are electronic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Without Universe” is a varied and smooth work,
between passages typical of our Italic culture and the desire to experiment,
certainly a not entirely predictable approach to what concerns our

è passata di acqua sotto i ponti da quel 2005, quando “Sol29” ha stupito tutti i
fans dei Porcupine Tree. Il chitarrista, tastierista, compositore e cantante
Giancarlo Erra ha saputo miscelare con parsimonia la Psichedelia con il sound
minimal del Post Rock e negli anni rilascia sei album in studio con svariati
singoli ed ep. L’ultimo lavoro risale all’anno 2018 (senza considerare l’album
di transizione solista del 2021) e porta il titolo di “Allow Yourself”. Con
questo prodigarsi, Erra riscuote l’attenzione di moltissimo pubblico e della
critica, i quali costantemente tessono lodi per ogni singolo disco. C’è chi li
accosta ai Sigur Rós, chi a Brian Eno, tuttavia l’impronta di Steven Wilson è maggiormente
marcata, anche quella del progetto parallelo No Man con Tim Bowness, che
compare guarda caso alla voce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Anche
la copertina dell’album realizzata dallo stesso Giancarlo Erra è minimale per
lasciare interamente spazio al messaggio che si vuole passare, quello di un
bambino che cammina con le mani in tasca e lo sguardo rivolto al basso e sotto il
corrispettivo adulto avente lo stesso atteggiamento. Un percorso di vita in cui
si denota il passaggio del tempo rilasciante le stesse problematiche da
affrontare, e noi ne siamo “al centro”.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Da
sottolineare il ritorno alle strumentazioni fisiche come ad esempio quello
della batteria che rende il tutto più caldo e sincero. “Nothing We Gave” denota
da subito l’approccio primordiale dello stile Nosound, diretto, etereo e
inconfondibile. Il velo malinconico è il punto di forza della musica prossima
alle atmosfere delle band suddette, e aggiungo i Pink Floyd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
suono di un piano morigeratamente ponderato introduce la title track “To The
Core”, traccia che risplende la creatività di Erra in un crescendo agnostico
alla ricerca di passaggi strumentali inutilmente astrusi. E’ quindi la chitarra
elettrica nel finale a rilasciare un dialogo con l’anima intimamente mirato a
uno struggente epilogo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
singolo dell’ep porta il titolo di “Worn-Out Parts”, qui l’approccio vocale si
accosta a quello di Tom Yorke nei Radiohead, tutto diventa onirico grazie anche
agli effetti eco delle voci. Questi brani hanno tutti una breve durata per
mirare direttamente allo scopo senza perdersi in inutili fraseggi che
potrebbero distogliere l’ascoltatore dal messaggio che Erra e soci vogliono
passare. Con lui suonano Orazio Fabbri (basso), Paolo Vigliarolo (chitarre),
Marco Berni (tastiere), e Daniele Michelacci (batteria). Ospite anche Louise
Pigott ai cori.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Ancor
più malinconica la piano e voce “Interrupt”, una perla sonora su cui
socchiudere gli occhi e lasciarsi trasportare in una sorta di ipnotica nenia.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Closure”
suggella questo ep con classe, dove la cura per i particolari mette ancor più
in luce l’essenzialità di questa musica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Ascoltare
i Nosound è sempre una esperienza gradevole, un passaggio fuori dei canoni strutturali
a cui la musica moderna ci ha abituati, e se in più vi dico che il 100% del
ricavato sarà devoluto all&#39;appello umanitario del DEC Ucraina, allora un motivo
in più per acquistare questo piccolo gioiello sonoro. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/FLxQubedzYM&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;FLxQubedzYM&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Versione Inglese:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;NOSOUND – To The Core&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Kscope&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Genre: Psychedelic – Post Rock&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Support: EP / Bandcamp – 2025&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since 2005,
when &quot;Sol29&quot; amazed all Porcupine Tree fans. The guitarist,
keyboardist, composer, and singer Giancarlo Erra has known how to blend
Psychedelia with the minimal sound of Post Rock with parsimony, and over the
years, he releases six studio albums with various singles and EPs. The last
work dates back to 2018 (not considering the 2021 solo transition album) and is
titled &quot;Allow Yourself&quot;. With this work, Erra gains the attention of
a lot of audience and critics, who constantly praise every single disc. Some
compare them to Sigur Rós, others to Brian Eno, however, the imprint of Steven
Wilson is more marked, as well as that of the parallel project No Man with Tim
Bowness, who appears as a guest vocalist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The album cover, also realized by Giancarlo Erra, is
minimal to leave entirely space to the message that wants to be passed, that of
a child walking with hands in pockets and gaze directed downwards and under the
corresponding adult having the same attitude. A life path where the passage of
time denotes the same problems to face, and we are &quot;at the core&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s worth noting the return to physical
instrumentation, such as drums, which makes everything warmer and sincere.
&quot;Nothing We Gave&quot; immediately denotes the primordial approach of the
Nosound style, direct, ethereal, and unmistakable. The melancholic veil is the
strong point of the music, close to the atmospheres of the aforementioned
bands, and I add Pink Floyd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The sound of a moderately pondered piano introduces
the title track &quot;To The Core&quot;, a track that shines with Erra&#39;s
creativity in an agnostic crescendo in search of instrumental passages that are
not unnecessarily abstruse. It&#39;s the electric guitar in the finale that releases
a dialogue with the soul, intimately aimed at a poignant epilogue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The single of the EP bears the title &quot;Worn-Out
Parts&quot;, where the vocal approach is similar to that of Tom Yorke in
Radiohead, everything becomes dreamy thanks also to the echo effects of the
voices. These tracks all have a short duration to aim directly at the purpose
without getting lost in useless phrasing that could distract the listener from
the message that Erra and co. want to pass. With him play Orazio Fabbri (bass),
Paolo Vigliarolo (guitars), Marco Berni (keyboards), and Daniele Michelacci
(drums). Guest vocalist is also Louise Pigott.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Even more melancholic is the piano and voice
&quot;Interrupt&quot;, a sound pearl on which to close your eyes and let
yourself be carried away in a sort of hypnotic lament.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&quot;Closure&quot; seals this EP with class, where
the care for details highlights even more the essentiality of this music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Listening to Nosound is always a pleasant experience,
a passage outside the structural canons to which modern music has accustomed
us, and if I tell you that 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the DEC

è certo la prima volta che sottolineo l&#39;attuale direzione della musica, in
particolare la proliferazione di one-man band nel sottobosco indipendente,
complice l&#39;evoluzione tecnologica. Questa tendenza offre la possibilità di
esprimersi con facilità e costi ridotti, permettendo all&#39;artista di canalizzare
la propria creatività senza filtri. Sebbene l&#39;approccio nasca quasi sempre
dalla passione per uno strumento o un genere specifico, questo modello permette
finalmente di aggirare l&#39;ostacolo, un tempo insormontabile, delle Major.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Nascono
così, con frequenza quasi spontanea, progetti più o meno pubblicizzati su
piattaforme dedicate come Bandcamp. Proprio qui mi sono imbattuto nei Klee
Orchestra, progetto ideato dal giovane casertano Gianluca Zannone (classe
1985), qui impegnato con kalimba, theremin, chitarra, lama musicale, noise box,
synth, batteria e percussioni.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Dopo
i primi passi come batterista in gruppi locali quali Il Malpertugio e The Black
Garden Circus, Zannone approda a un&#39;identità priva di confini: un viaggio
onirico e libero, volto a esteriorizzare il proprio mondo interiore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Nell’album
“Esercizio Di Retorica”, Gianluca si avvale della collaborazione di Ivan
Franzini al basso e di Antonio Zannone alla chitarra solista in “Eco”,
“Carioca” e “Olzon”. L’artwork è opera di Franz Murtas, la grafica di Mario
Antinucci, mentre le registrazioni sono state effettuate presso lo Studio12 di
Falciano del Massico (CE) a cura di Giovanni di Fusco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Auster”
apre l&#39;ascolto dimostrando un approccio vicino allo stile dei King Crimson
post-“Red”, sorretto da un efficace giro armonico di basso. Le vocalità e gli
inserti elettronici sono utilizzati in chiave sperimentale; la traccia
chiarisce subito la volontà dell&#39;autore di sfuggire all&#39;omologazione attraverso
suoni in loop e una ricerca timbrica costante, supportata da un&#39;ottima sezione
ritmica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Con
i suoi sei minuti, “Insonnia” è l&#39;episodio più lungo del disco. Lungi dal
ricalcare strutture canoniche, la composizione si dipana tra anelli
psichedelici e una voce di fondo lontana che crea un effetto onirico altamente
coinvolgente. Il refrain resta ipnotico e iterativo, mentre a metà percorso il
ritmo si spezza, lasciando spazio a vuoti mentali simili a quelli esplorati dai
Radiohead. Si percepiscono vocalizzi (probabilmente campionati al contrario)
che richiamano le sperimentazioni di Demetrio Stratos, risolvendosi in una
forma catartica quasi sciamanica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Carioca”
poggia invece su una nenia infantile dal sapore horror, impreziosita dalla
chitarra Post-Rock di Antonio Zannone. Con l&#39;ingresso del resto della
strumentazione, il significato muta pur mantenendo un&#39;intrinseca sensazione di
angoscia. Suggestioni vicine ai Goblin arrivano poi da “Atmosfera”, brano che
non si discosta troppo dall&#39;intento atmosferico del precedente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;La
batteria apre invece “Movimento”, breve saggio della padronanza tecnica di
Gianluca sul suo strumento principale; era da moltissimo tempo che non mi
imbattevo in un assolo di batteria inserito con tale senso critico in un album.
Per il resto, lascio alla vostra curiosità l&#39;approfondimento su Bandcamp o
YouTube.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In
conclusione, Klee Orchestra è un progetto stimolante e tutt&#39;altro che banale,
ideale come colonna sonora per una serata fuori dagli schemi dove voi
diventerete i protagonisti. MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/EPyHSv_Rpk4&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;EPyHSv_Rpk4&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Versione Inglese:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;KLEE ORCHESTRA – Esercizio Di

the current direction of music, specifically the proliferation of one-man bands
within the independent underground, fueled by technological evolution. This
trend offers the chance to express oneself with ease and at a lower cost,
allowing artists to channel their unfiltered creativity. While this approach
almost always stems from a passion for a specific instrument or genre, this
model finally allows for bypassing the once-insurmountable obstacle of major
labels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;As a result, projects—more or less publicized—are
popping up almost spontaneously on dedicated platforms like Bandcamp. It was
there that I came across Klee Orchestra, a project conceived by the young Caserta-born
artist Gianluca Zannone (born 1985), who here plays kalimba, theremin, guitar,
musical saw, noise box, synth, drums, and percussion. After his early steps as
a drummer in local bands such as Il Malpertugio and The Black Garden Circus,
Zannone has arrived at a borderless identity: a free, dreamlike journey aimed
at externalizing his inner world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In the album “Esercizio Di Retorica”, Gianluca enlists
the collaboration of Ivan Franzini on bass and Antonio Zannone on lead guitar
in “Eco”, “Carioca”, and “Olzon”. The artwork is by Franz Murtas, graphics by
Mario Antinucci, while the recordings were held at Studio12 in Falciano del
Massico (CE), curated by Giovanni di Fusco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Auster” opens the listen, demonstrating an approach
close to the post-“Red” era of King Crimson, supported by an effective harmonic
bass line. Vocals and electronic inserts are used experimentally; the track
immediately clarifies the author&#39;s desire to escape standardization through
looped sounds and constant tonal research, backed by an excellent rhythm
section.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;At six minutes long, “Insonnia” is the record&#39;s
longest episode. Far from following canonical structures, the composition
unfolds through psychedelic rings and a distant background voice that creates a
highly engaging, dreamlike effect. The refrain remains hypnotic and iterative,
while midway through, the rhythm breaks, giving way to mental voids similar to
those explored by Radiohead. One can perceive vocalizations (likely sampled in
reverse) that recall the experimentation of Demetrio Stratos, resolving into an
almost shamanic catharsis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Carioca” instead rests on a childlike nursery rhyme
with a horror-like flavor, embellished by Antonio Zannone&#39;s post-rock guitar.
As the rest of the instrumentation enters, the meaning shifts while maintaining
an intrinsic sense of anguish. Suggestions close to Goblin then emerge from
“Atmosfera”, a piece that does not stray far from the atmospheric intent of its
predecessor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Conversely, the drums open “Movimento”, a brief essay
on Gianluca’s technical mastery of his primary instrument; it had been a very
long time since I encountered a drum solo integrated into an album with such
critical purpose. For the rest, I leave it to your curiosity to explore further
on Bandcamp or YouTube.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In conclusion, Klee Orchestra is a stimulating and
far-from-trivial project, ideal as a soundtrack for an unconventional evening
where you become the protagonists. MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

dico subito che generalmente non recensisco album di cover, tantomeno se escono
in formato digitale, al quale non attribuisco molta importanza rispetto a
quanto faccio per un CD o un vinile. La mia non vuole essere una critica nei
confronti della musica liquida; sono consapevole che bisogna adeguarsi ai
tempi, alla velocità e alla praticità delle cose. È solo che amo ancora stare
seduto davanti al mio stereo... Tutto qui (c&#39;è chi ha detto boomer, immagino).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Nel
caso di Carmine Capasso, però, devo inevitabilmente fare un&#39;eccezione, perché
quando un lavoro è fatto con la testa e soprattutto con il cuore, non può
essere ignorato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Come
nello stile del suo amico Marco Bernard, il chitarrista campano,
per la realizzazione di questo album si supporta di un numero consistente di
special guest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&quot;The
Best Is Yet To Come&quot; vede al proprio interno scorrere ben sedici canzoni
che spaziano fra differenti stili sonori, dall&#39;Hard Rock al Progressive Rock,
passando per il cantautorato, il Rock e il Neo Prog. Sono canzoni che hanno
fatto parte della formazione stilistica di Capasso, scelte non a caso, per
questo &quot;Il bello deve ancora venire&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Colui
che siede spesso alla batteria vicino a Capasso è Ovidio Catanzano, così come
alle tastiere Costantino Taglialatela.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;L&#39;apertura
spetta a &quot;Lady&quot; di Beck, Bogert &amp;amp; Appice, dove un certo Jeff Beck
con la sezione ritmica dei Vanilla Fudge disegna una piccola parte del Rock.
Qui Antonio Colaruotolo suona il basso e il pezzo è da brividi! Carmine Capasso
mette in mostra le sue doti tecniche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&quot;We
All Need Some Light&quot; è della super band Prog Rock Transatlantic, una
ballata che solo un Neal Morse (ex Spock&#39;s Beard) ispirato può scrivere assieme
a Roine Stolt (The Flower King, Kaipa), Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) e Pete
Trewavas (Marillion). Al basso Roberto De Rosa. L&#39;assolo di Capasso è pressoché
perfetto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Con
&quot;White Room&quot; dei Cream si fa un balzo nel tempo a quel &quot;Wheels
Of Fire&quot; pubblicato nel 1968. Il basso qui viene suonato da Tony Alemanno.
Il pezzo acquista freschezza elargita con grande rispetto dell&#39;originale; il
discorso è analogo per &quot;Badge&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Un
balzo nell&#39;Hard Rock con &quot;Bad Reputation&quot; dei Thin Lizzy, un
movimento dove la ritmica ricopre un ruolo primario. Tuttavia, è la chitarra
eterna protagonista di questo intramontabile stile sonoro, qui con tanta
materia dentro!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Uno
dei maggiori punti di riferimento per Carmine è Ivan Graziani, la chitarra Rock
italiana per eccellenza (non nascondo che è anche il mio). &quot;Il
Chitarrista&quot; è nomen omen. Splendidamente eseguita, mi ha emozionato
molto, perché Ivan è il poeta di provincia e Capasso ne ha assorbito bene la
sua lezione stilistica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Altro
capolavoro è &quot;Starless&quot; dei King Crimson. Capite bene che andare a
suonare certi mostri sacri può essere un&#39;arma a doppio taglio, ma non per chi
ha nelle mani la sapienza della materia. Questo è un ulteriore motivo per cui
mi sono sentito di fare una recensione a questo disco di cover. Antonio
Liccardi alla batteria, Dino Fiore al basso, Ivan Santovito alle tastiere
mellotron e Marek Arnold al sax eseguono il brano come meglio non potrebbero.
Brividi!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Si
passa al tecnico con &quot;Light Years&quot; (Chick Corea Elektric Band),
divertimento allo stato puro, per poi tornare all&#39;Hard Rock dei Deep Purple,
questa volta analizzati attraverso la ballata &quot;Soldier Of Fortune&quot;,
una coccola per il cuore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Viene
dato spazio anche al Rock più moderno ma con una base storica importante,
quella dei Beatles. La band chiamata in causa è Oasis, ed il brano è
&quot;Don&#39;t Look Back In Anger&quot;, un classico senza tempo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Un
maestro della musica Heavy Metal mondiale è Ronnie James Dio; Capasso di lui va
ad eseguire &quot;Holy Driver&quot;, un pezzo che ogni metallaro degno di
questo appellativo non deve disconoscere! Cantato alla perfezione e suonato
come pochi sanno ripetere, il brano è uno dei migliori riusciti di tutto
l&#39;album, vuoi per intensità che per tecnica. Sep Sarno è alle tastiere, Ralf
Reiche al basso e Many Stürner alla voce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Successivamente
si cambia genere, passando per il Neo Prog di &quot;Kayleigh&quot;, tratto dal
monumentale &quot;Misplaced Childhood&quot; dei Marillion. Impressionante
l&#39;interpretazione di Alessandro Corvaglia, pressoché perfetta, così come tutta
l&#39;esecuzione fedele al brano originale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Ritorno
all&#39;Hard Rock mondiale attraverso uno dei brani più iconici, quell&#39;&quot;Hells
Bells&quot; che non solo ha dato successo agli AC/DC, ma anche a un genere
intero. Many Stürner è al microfono e i brividi scorrono inevitabilmente sulla
pelle! E rimanendo in tema, ci spostiamo dall&#39;Australia all&#39;America con i Kiss
(R.I.P. Ace Frehley) e l&#39;indimenticabile &quot;Detroit Rock City&quot; che
tanti fan ha fatto sognare. Davide Schiavi ne è perfetto vocalist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Ed
è la volta di &quot;Anthem&quot; dei canadesi Rush, presente anche nel secondo
disco del doppio album &quot;Moby Dick&quot; di Marco Bernard. Una performance
qui cantata ancora una volta da Davide Schiavi, molto coerente all&#39;originale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Il
disco si conclude con &quot;Land Of Confusion&quot; dei Genesis, non il solito
brano Prog estrapolato dalla discografia immensa della band dei tempi che
furono, piuttosto del periodo più recente. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Ancora una volta Corvaglia mostra il meglio di se.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Concludendo,
&quot;The Best Is Yet To Come&quot; documenta tutte le basi poliedriche con cui
Carmine Capasso ha basato la sua passione per la musica e la chitarra. Oserei
dire che sono più che solide, anche perché coincidono con le mie e spero anche
con quelle di molti di voi. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Dategli

especially not digital ones, which I don&#39;t attribute much importance to
compared to CDs or vinyls. My stance isn&#39;t a criticism of digital music; I&#39;m
just aware that times are changing, and convenience is key. I still enjoy
sitting in front of my stereo, that&#39;s all (I guess some might call me a
boomer).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;However, with Carmine Capasso, I have to make an
exception. When work is done with passion and dedication, it can&#39;t be ignored.
Like his friend Marco Bernard, the Campano-born guitarist has assembled a
talented group of special guests for this album.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&quot;The Best Is Yet To Come&quot; features 16 tracks
that span different styles, from Hard Rock to Progressive Rock, Cantautorato,
Rock, and Neo Prog. These songs have shaped Capasso&#39;s musical style, and their
selection is deliberate. Capasso&#39;s long-time drummer Ovidio Catanzano and
keyboardist Costantino Taglialatela are part of the lineup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The album opens with &quot;Lady&quot; by Beck, Bogert
&amp;amp; Appice, where Jeff Beck&#39;s guitar work shines alongside the Vanilla Fudge
rhythm section. Antonio Colaruotolo&#39;s bassline is thrilling, and Carmine
Capasso&#39;s technical skills are on full display.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The Transatlantic superband&#39;s &quot;We All Need Some
Light&quot; is a beautiful ballad that showcases Neal Morse&#39;s songwriting
skills. Roberto De Rosa handles the bass, and Capasso&#39;s solo is nearly perfect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The album takes a trip back to 1968 with Cream&#39;s
&quot;White Room&quot; from &quot;Wheels Of Fire&quot;. Tony Alemanno&#39;s bass
adds freshness to the track, while still respecting the original. The same can
be said for &quot;Badge&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Thin Lizzy&#39;s &quot;Bad Reputation&quot; is a hard rock
standout, with a strong emphasis on rhythm and Capasso&#39;s guitar work. Ivan
Graziani, a pioneer of Italian rock guitar, is a significant influence on
Capasso, and &quot;Il Chitarrista&quot; is a beautiful tribute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;King Crimson&#39;s &quot;Starless&quot; is a masterpiece
that requires skill and respect to cover. The lineup for this track includes
Antonio Liccardi on drums, Dino Fiore on bass, Ivan Santovito on keyboards and
mellotron, and Marek Arnold on sax. The result is breathtaking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The album continues with Chick Corea&#39;s &quot;Light
Years&quot;, a fun and upbeat track, followed by Deep Purple&#39;s &quot;Soldier Of
Fortune&quot;, a heartfelt ballad. Oasis&#39;s &quot;Don&#39;t Look Back In Anger&quot;
is another highlight, showcasing the band&#39;s ability to interpret modern rock
with a classic twist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Ronnie James Dio&#39;s &quot;Holy Driver&quot; is a heavy
metal standout, with Sep Sarno on keyboards, Ralf Reiche on bass, and Many
Stürner on vocals. The track is intense and technically impressive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The album&#39;s Neo Prog segment features Marillion&#39;s
&quot;Kayleigh&quot;, with Alessandro Corvaglia&#39;s impressive vocals and a
faithful rendition of the original. AC/DC&#39;s &quot;Hells Bells&quot; and Kiss&#39;s
&quot;Detroit Rock City&quot; are both high-energy tracks that showcase the
band&#39;s versatility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The album concludes with Rush&#39;s &quot;Anthem&quot; and
Genesis&#39;s &quot;Land Of Confusion&quot;, both of which demonstrate Capasso&#39;s
ability to interpret complex music. Overall, &quot;The Best Is Yet To
Come&quot; showcases Carmine Capasso&#39;s passion for music and guitar, and it&#39;s
definitely worth a listen. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;MS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/0hxjafr6AEM&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;0hxjafr6AEM&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

stati tutti bambini, capaci di guardare il mondo con una prospettiva ricca di
meraviglia e desiderio di scoperta. Crescendo, tendiamo a smarrire la purezza
di quelle sensazioni sincere; sarebbe invece prezioso poter recuperare quella
capacità di stupirsi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Paolo
Pagliari (voce, chitarre, basso, percussioni, tastiere) esplora questo tema
attraverso un concept album denso di emozioni. Sebbene “Through The Eyes Of A
Child” sia il suo esordio solista, non siamo di fronte a un esordiente:
Pagliari è infatti, insieme a Gabriel Kiss, l&#39;anima della band marchigiana The
Old Castle, con cui ha inciso “Working Travellers”, “Storie Nascoste” (2001) e
“Wistful” (2022). Musicoterapeuta con alle spalle numerose esperienze tra
progetti pubblicitari e tribute band (Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin e Pink
Floyd), l&#39;artista riversa qui tutto il suo bagaglio culturale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In
questo scrigno emotivo, Pagliari si avvale della collaborazione dell&#39;amico
Alberto Quacquarini alla batteria (anch&#39;egli nei The Old Castle) e di numerosi
ospiti: Sandrine Derouet (cori in “In The Shelter Of Your Eyes”), Leandro
Pagliari (tamburello in “Camel Escape”), Doryan Pagliari (cori in “Stars In
Your Eyes”), Wilson Pagliari (voce narrante in “Lune De Mer”), Luca Vittori
(cori in “Father&#39;s Words” e “Light In The Night”), Irene Vittori (cori in
“Light In The Night”) e Silvia Marques (cori in “Stars In Your Eyes”).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;A
prevalere è l&#39;amore viscerale per il Progressive Rock, con frequenti richiami
ai Pink Floyd: lo si avverte sin dal vociare dei bambini in “So Begin”, dotata
di un&#39;intro che non sfigurerebbe in “The Division Bell”. La musica, soffice e
curata, gode di un tocco di chitarra morbido e ponderato, colonna sonora
perfetta per un viaggio immaginifico dalle melodie capaci di toccare l&#39;anima.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
Rock proposto affonda le radici nella tradizione, mettendo in mostra la
preparazione dell&#39;artista attraverso temi di facile memorizzazione; ne è un
esempio “Stars In Your Eyes”, che resta fedele all&#39;universo di Gilmour e soci
senza scostarsene di un millimetro. Un lieve cambio di registro si avverte in
“Father’s Words”, che vira con delicatezza verso il Neo Prog. Il cantato è
convincente: mai invasivo, risulta coinvolgente grazie a un&#39;interpretazione
quasi sussurrata. La sezione strumentale nella seconda parte del brano
trasmette una profonda serenità.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;La
chitarra acustica apre la strumentale “Watching Through The Window On A
Melancholic Rainy Day”, traccia leggera che cattura lo sguardo di un bimbo
rapito dalla pioggia. Segue “Hold On!”, un passaggio Pop-Prog ben strutturato
nelle coralità, diretto e gradevole. Ci si lascia poi incantare dalle sonorità
&quot;Genesiane&quot; di “Lune De Mer”, per poi tornare in orbita Pink Floyd
con “In The Shelter Of Your Eyes”. C’è spazio anche per il Canterbury sound dei
Camel nella strumentale “Camel Escape”, mentre “Memory Box” omaggia lo stile
dei Marillion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Chiude
in bellezza “Light In The Night”, sintesi perfetta della scuola di Pagliari,
che con questo debutto riesce a emozionare e convincere in ogni passaggio. È un
disco privo di cali di tensione, testimonianza di una padronanza compositiva
eccellente. Una bellissima sorpresa che non dovrebbe mancare nello scaffale di
ogni collezionista di Prog italiano. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

world with a perspective full of wonder and a desire for discovery. As we grow
up, we tend to lose the purity of those sincere sensations; it would be
precious, instead, to regain that capacity for awe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Paolo Pagliari (vocals, guitars, dominance,
percussion, keyboards) explores this theme through an emotionally dense concept
album. Although “Through The Eyes Of A Child” is his solo debut, we are not
dealing with a newcomer: Pagliari is, alongside Gabriel Kiss, the soul of the
Marche-based band The Old Castle, with whom he recorded “Working Travellers”,
“Storie Nascoste” (2001), and “Wistful” (2022). A music therapist with
extensive experience in advertising projects and tribute bands (Rolling Stones,
Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd), the artist pours his entire cultural background
into this work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In this emotional treasure chest, Pagliari enlists the
collaboration of his friend Alberto Quacquarini on drums (also of The Old
Castle) and numerous guests: Sandrine Derouet (backing vocals on “In The
Shelter Of Your Eyes”), Leandro Pagliari (tambourine on “Camel Escape”), Doryan
Pagliari (backing vocals on “Stars In Your Eyes”), Wilson Pagliari (narrator on
“Lune De Mer”), Luca Vittori (backing vocals on “Father&#39;s Words” and “Light In
The Night”), Irene Vittori (backing vocals on “Light In The Night”), and Silvia
Marques (backing vocals on “Stars In Your Eyes”).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;What prevails is a visceral love for Progressive Rock,
with frequent nods to Pink Floyd: this is evident from the children&#39;s voices in
“So Begin,” featuring an intro that wouldn&#39;t feel out of place on “The Division
Bell.” The music, soft and polished, benefits from a smooth and thoughtful
guitar touch—a perfect soundtrack for an imaginative journey with melodies
capable of touching the soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The Rock presented here is rooted in tradition,
showcasing the artist&#39;s expertise through easily memorable themes; “Stars In
Your Eyes” is a prime example, remaining faithful to the universe of Gilmour
and company without straying by a single millimeter. A slight change of pace is
felt in “Father’s Words,” which delicately veers toward Neo-Prog. The vocals
are convincing: never invasive, they remain engaging thanks to an almost
whispered interpretation. The instrumental section in the second half of the
track conveys a sense of profound serenity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Acoustic guitar opens the instrumental “Watching
Through The Window On A Melancholic Rainy Day,” a light track that captures the
gaze of a child captivated by falling rain. This is followed by “Hold On!”, a
Pop-Prog passage that is well-structured in its harmonies, direct, and
pleasant. One is then enchanted by the &quot;Genesis-esque&quot; sounds of
“Lune De Mer,” before returning to the Pink Floyd orbit with “In The Shelter Of
Your Eyes.” There is also room for the Canterbury sound of Camel in the
instrumental “Camel Escape,” while “Memory Box” pays homage to the style of
Marillion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;“Light In The Night” closes the album beautifully—a
perfect synthesis of Pagliari’s musical education. With this debut, he succeeds
in moving and convincing the listener at every turn. It is a record without any
lulls, a testament to truly excellent compositional mastery. A wonderful
surprise that should not be missing from the shelf of any Italian Prog
collector. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

eccellenze musicali nel territorio italico non finiscono mai di essere
nominate. Siamo una nazione di artisti in tutti i campi, anche in quello
musicale, malgrado i tempi possano suggerire il contrario.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
Jazz è un movimento che ci ha saputo donare molte soddisfazioni, anche recenti,
con musicisti notevoli come Paolo Fresu, Fabrizio Bosso, Massimo Manzi, Roberto
Gatto e moltissimi altri. Se poi il Jazz si sposa con la ricerca sonora del
Progressive Rock, allora il discorso si fa ancor più particolareggiato, adatto
a un pubblico esigente e raffinato. In questo ambito, Lorenzo Cellupica si
adopera avvalendosi della collaborazione di buoni artisti come Damiano Drogheo
(sax tenore e alto), Gianfranco De Lisi (basso), e Massimo Ceci (batteria);
ecco quindi nascere il Lorenzo Cellupica Quartet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Cellupica
è un pianista, tastierista, compositore e insegnante di musica originario di
Isola del Liri (FR). Così possiamo leggere dalla scheda tecnica dell’autore:
“La sua formazione poliedrica, che spazia in diversi generi come Jazz,
Classica, Rock, Blues e Prog, gli ha permesso di costruire nel corso degli anni
diverse formazioni di successo. Nel corso della sua carriera ha ricevuto
numerosi riconoscimenti, sia come solista che all&#39;interno dei gruppi da lui
fondati, tra cui il premio Rotary Club Frosinone. “L&#39;eccellenza della musica italiana, XXI edizione” per il Jazz. Ha all&#39;attivo
diverse uscite discografiche, sia come gruppo (Möbius Strip e Time Lag del
gruppo Möbius Strip) che come solista (“In A Haunted House”).”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Numerose
anche le date live che lo vedono protagonista in prestigiosi festival italiani,
ma anche all’estero, come a Chicago e in Wisconsin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“This
Is Odd” è l’ultimo album a sua firma, dopo “In A Haunted House” (2023), fra
elementi melodici e complessità strutturali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Otto i movimenti in cui i generi affrontati spaziano dal Jazz al Prog, a iniziare da
“Music For Four Musicians”, composizione calda supportata da suoni puliti in
cui la ritmica Jazz fa da traino portante. Il sax è colui che detta la melodia,
mentre il piano gioca con gli strumenti supportandoli.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
movimento, seppur ricercato, ben si stampa nella memoria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Questa
è musica senza tempo, e “Whatever” lo dimostra a pieno, palesando tutte le
caratteristiche che il Jazz ha saputo incontrare nel cammino della propria
esistenza, anche quelle di un certo Frank Zappa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“On
The Tail Of A Rainbow” alza il ritmo e, come suggerisce il titolo, si dipana in
un territorio prettamente solare. Il dialogo fra gli strumenti dimostra una
perfetta amalgama fra i musicisti. Piccole schegge di Progressive Rock
arricchiscono il tutto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“No
Strawberries” mi riporta a quel Jazz Rock caro a gruppi come Agorà e Perigeo,
un tuffo negli anni ’70, ma con accorgimenti più moderni, dove il basso si
esprime al meglio. La title track ha un andamento misterioso; entra quasi di
soppiatto per poi dipanarsi in quello che strutturalmente ho descritto sino ad
ora, per nove minuti di ottima musica. Colori e suoni si fondono in un unico
abbraccio, proprio come rappresentato ottimamente nella cover del disco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
piano di Cellupica alza il ritmo in “Mah”, brano tipicamente Jazz molto
sostenuto, mentre “I Wish To Climb Higher” riconduce l’ascolto in movimenti più
ricercati e di classe. Il momento intimistico è affidato a “I Can’t Paint”, qui
fuoriesce l’anima più raffinata dell’autore attraverso il pianoforte.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;“This
Is Odd” riporta quindi nuovamente alla luce le straordinarie capacità
artistiche di noi italiani, che purtroppo spesso valorizziamo lavori esteri
decisamente più scadenti. Spero che un giorno questa esterofilia trovi una
giusta regolamentazione nelle nostre menti e che artisti del calibro di Lorenzo
Cellupica Quartet trovino la giusta e degna collocazione. Iniziate voi a
donargliela. MS.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/AR6I134Cswc&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;AR6I134Cswc&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Versione Inglese:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;LORENZO

cease to be mentioned. We are a nation of artists in all fields, including
music, despite the times suggesting otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Jazz is a movement that has given us many
satisfactions, including recent ones, with notable musicians like Paolo Fresu,
Fabrizio Bosso, Massimo Manzi, Roberto Gatto, and many others. If Jazz then
marries the sound research of Progressive Rock, the discussion becomes even
more detailed, suitable for a discerning and refined audience. In this context,
Lorenzo Cellupica works with the collaboration of good artists like Damiano
Drogheo (tenor and alto sax), Gianfranco De Lisi (bass), and Massimo Ceci
(drums); hence the birth of the Lorenzo Cellupica Quartet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Cellupica is a pianist, keyboardist, composer, and
music teacher from Isola del Liri (FR). As we can read from the author&#39;s
technical sheet: &quot;His multifaceted training, which spans different genres
like Jazz, Classical, Rock, Blues, and Prog, has allowed him to build several
successful formations over the years. During his career, he has received
numerous awards, both as a soloist and within the groups he founded, including
the&amp;nbsp; prize at the Rotary Club Frosinone &#39;L&#39;eccellenza della
musica italiana, XXI edition&#39; award for Jazz. He has several discographic
releases to his credit, both as a group (Möbius Strip and Time Lag with the
Möbius Strip group) and as a soloist (&#39;In A Haunted House&#39;).&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Numerous live dates also feature him as a protagonist
in prestigious Italian festivals, as well as abroad, such as in Chicago and
Wisconsin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&quot;This Is Odd&quot; is his latest album, after
&quot;In A Haunted House&quot; (2023), between melodic elements and structural
complexity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Eight movements in which the genres tackled range from
Jazz to Prog, starting with &quot;Music For Four Musicians&quot;, a warm
composition supported by clean sounds in which the Jazz rhythm takes the lead.
The saxophone dictates the melody, while the piano plays with the instruments,
supporting them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The movement, although researched, is well imprinted
in the memory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;This is timeless music, and &quot;Whatever&quot; fully
demonstrates it, revealing all the characteristics that Jazz has been able to
encounter in its existence, including those of a certain Frank Zappa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&quot;On The Tail Of A Rainbow&quot; raises the rhythm
and, as the title suggests, unfolds in a predominantly sunny territory. The
dialogue between the instruments demonstrates a perfect blend between the
musicians. Small fragments of Progressive Rock enrich the whole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&quot;No Strawberries&quot; takes me back to that Jazz
Rock dear to groups like Agorà and Perigeo, a dive into the 1970s, but with
more modern touches, where the bass expresses itself at its best. The title
track has a mysterious pace; it enters almost stealthily and then unfolds into
what I have structurally described so far, for nine minutes of excellent music.
Colors and sounds merge into a single embrace, just like the cover art of the
album.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Cellupica&#39;s piano raises the rhythm in
&quot;Mah&quot;, a typically Jazz track that is very sustained, while &quot;I
Wish To Climb Higher&quot; leads the listening back to more researched and classy
movements. The intimate moment is entrusted to &quot;I Can’t Paint&quot;, where
the author&#39;s most refined soul emerges through the piano.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&quot;This Is Odd&quot; thus brings to light once
again the extraordinary artistic abilities of us Italians, which unfortunately
we often value less than foreign works that are decidedly inferior. I hope that
one day this Italophobia will find a just regulation in our minds and that
artists of the caliber of Lorenzo Cellupica Quartet will find the right and
worthy placement. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Start by giving it to them.

web magazine - sta per tornare. Non per riaprire una stagione editoriale, non
per guardare al passato con nostalgia, ma per dare vita a un episodio unico,
pensato come un gesto creativo e collettivo per raccontare la musica di oggi
con lo sguardo libero che ci ha sempre contraddistinti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Sono
trascorsi quasi cinque anni dall’ultimo numero. In questo tempo il mondo è… un
po’ cambiato, la musica è… un po’ cambiata, e anche il nostro modo di
ascoltare, scrivere e pensare si è trasformato. Da questa consapevolezza nasce
il nuovo MAT2020, non una cronaca, ma una riflessione condivisa, non un
archivio, ma un racconto vivo di ciò che ci ha attraversato dal 2021 a oggi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il progetto
coinvolge ancora una volta i collaboratori storici, chiamati a contribuire con
la stessa libertà di sempre. Il risultato sarà un’edizione di circa 100 pagine,
costruita come un mosaico di idee, esperienze, ascolti, immagini e pensieri che
dialogano tra loro senza retorica né giudizio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Non è un
revival, non è un addio, e non è un ritorno alle pubblicazioni periodiche. È un
unicum, un gesto collettivo che esiste per il semplice piacere di creare e
condividere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

It is conceived as a collective creative gesture, aimed at capturing today’s music with the same independent spirit that has always defined us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Nearly five years have passed since our last issue. In that time, the world has… changed a bit; music has… changed a bit; and our own ways of listening, writing, and thinking have transformed as well. The new MAT2020 stems from this awareness. It is not a chronicle, but a shared reflection; not an archive, but a living narrative of everything that has moved us from 2021 to the present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The project once again involves our longtime contributors, called upon to share their work with their signature freedom. The result will be an edition of approximately 100 pages—a mosaic of ideas, experiences, sounds, images, and thoughts in dialogue with one another, free from rhetoric or judgment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;It is not a revival, it is not a goodbye, and it is not a return to regular publication. It is a &lt;i data-index-in-node=&quot;97&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;6&quot;&gt;one-off&lt;/i&gt;, a collective act that exists for the simple pleasure of creating and sharing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;7&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The release is imminent. We’re almost there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

i King Crimson avessero deciso di trasferirsi in una baita sperduta tra le nevi
svedesi per nutrire la propria malinconia a pane e distorsione, il risultato
sarebbero stati gli Anekdoten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Nati
all&#39;inizio degli anni &#39;90 a Borlänge, Svezia,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;(inizialmente
come cover band dei King Crimson chiamata King Edward), gli Anekdoten sono
emersi insieme ai Landberk e agli Anglagård, dando vita a quella che viene
chiamata la &quot;Svedish Prog Renaissance&quot;. Mentre altri cercavano di
imitare la pulizia dei Genesis, loro hanno scelto la via del fango, del basso
pulsante e delle atmosfere plumbee.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Hanno saputo
trasformare l&#39;influenza dei maestri in un linguaggio autonomo, viscerale e
profondamente svedese.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;La
discografia degli Anekdoten non è solo una serie di album, è un&#39;evoluzione
biologica del suono.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;A
differenza di molte band Prog che cambiano membri come camicie, gli Anekdoten
sono rimasti un blocco granitico per decenni.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Nicklas
Barker: Non è il classico guitar hero. Il suo stile è fatto di feedback
controllati, arpeggi ossessivi e una voce sottile, quasi fragile, che contrasta
perfettamente con la potenza della musica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Anna
Sofi Dahlberg: È la vera arma segreta. Il suo uso del violoncello aggiunge una
texture organica e cameristica che poche band Rock possono vantare. Quando
passa al Mellotron, crea muri di suono che sembrano provenire da un&#39;altra
dimensione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Jan
Erik Liljeström: Il suo basso Rickenbacker è il cuore pulsante. Non si limita a
seguire la batteria, ma dialoga costantemente con la chitarra, spesso prendendo
il ruolo di strumento solista.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Peter
Nordins: Un batterista che sa quando essere tellurico e quando essere
invisibile. La sua precisione sui tempi complessi (5/4, 7/8) è naturale, mai

che scosse le fondamenta del Neo-Prog. Mentre il mondo guardava ai suoni
digitali, gli Anekdoten rispolverarono il Mellotron 400 e il violoncello,
creando un&#39;atmosfera funerea e potente.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;È l&#39;album della
&quot;malinconia svedese&quot;. C&#39;è un senso di isolamento geografico che si
trasforma in musica. L&#39;influenza dei King Crimson (periodo ”Red”) è evidente,
ma filtrata da una sensibilità nordica originale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
Suono è grezzo, analogico, dominato dal basso distorto di Jan Erik Liljeström.

“Vemod “era triste, “Nucleus” è arrabbiato. È considerato l&#39;album più
&quot;difficile&quot; e aggressivo della band. La produzione è più densa, quasi
cacofonica in certi punti. Il Mellotron viene usato in modo atonale, creando
dissonanze inquietanti. C&#39;è un uso massiccio del flauto e del sassofono che
aggiunge un sapore Jazz-Core.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Un disco coraggioso che sfida
l&#39;ascoltatore. Qui la band si distacca dal paragone costante con i maestri del
passato per creare un muro di suono che anticipa certe sonorità del Post-Metal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Brani

considerano il loro capolavoro assoluto.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Un viaggio
introspettivo. La band impara a gestire il &quot;silenzio&quot; e le pause,
rendendo i momenti di piena ancora più d’impatto. È un album notturno, perfetto
per essere ascoltato in cuffia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Le
composizioni si fanno più fluide. C&#39;è meno aggressività gratuita e più ricerca
melodica. Il basso Rickenbacker è sempre protagonista, ma si sposa con tastiere
più sognanti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Brani

cambio di rotta significativo. La band accorcia i brani e si apre a influenze
Shoegaze e Rock alternativo (alla Radiohead/Porcupine Tree). Più spaziale e
meno cupo. Le chitarre di Nicklas Barker usano più riverbero e delay. Il
violoncello scompare quasi del tutto per lasciare spazio a texture sintetiche e
pianoforti.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;È il disco della &quot;leggerezza&quot; (per i loro
standard). Dimostra che gli Anekdoten non sono prigionieri del genere Prog e

delle particolarità degli Anekdoten è quindi la loro fedeltà assoluta alla
strumentazione vintage. In un&#39;epoca in cui i plugin software simulano tutto,
loro hanno continuato a trasportare pesanti macchine elettromeccaniche (il
Mellotron 400 pesa circa 55 kg) in tour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Lo
fanno perchè il Mellotron non è perfetto. Ha dei &quot;difetti&quot; nel
trascinamento dei nastri che creano quel tipico suono fluttuante e spettrale.
Gli Anekdoten cavalcano quell&#39;imperfezione per renderla poesia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In
un mondo musicale spesso troppo levigato, mantengono una ruvidità analogica che
è pura onestà intellettuale. Non hanno mai inseguito le classifiche, mantenendo
un&#39;integrità che li ha resi dei &quot;culti&quot; assoluti. Se ami il rock che
non ha paura di essere complesso ma che ti colpisce dritto allo stomaco, loro
sono la risposta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&quot;Gli
Anekdoten non suonano il Progressive: lo abitano, come se fosse una casa
vecchia e scricchiolante piena di fantasmi bellissimi.&quot;&amp;nbsp; MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Versione inglese:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;ANEKDOTEN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;If King Crimson had decided to move to a remote cabin

as a King Crimson cover band called King Edward), Anekdoten emerged alongside
Landberk and Änglagård, sparking what became known as the &quot;Swedish Prog
Renaissance.&quot; While others sought to mimic the polished sheen of Genesis,
they chose the path of sludge, pulsing bass, and leaden atmospheres. They
successfully transformed the influence of the masters into an autonomous,
visceral, and profoundly Swedish musical language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The Anekdoten discography is not just a series of
albums; it is a biological evolution of sound. Unlike many Prog bands that
change members like shirts, Anekdoten has remained a monolithic unit for
decades:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Nicklas Barker: Not your classic guitar hero. His
style is built on controlled feedback, obsessive arpeggios, and a thin, almost
fragile voice that provides a perfect contrast to the power of the music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Anna Sofi Dahlberg: The true secret weapon. Her use of
the cello adds an organic, chamber-music texture that few rock bands can boast.
When she switches to the Mellotron, she creates walls of sound that seem to
emanate from another dimension.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Jan Erik Liljeström: His Rickenbacker bass is the

the guitar, often stepping into a lead instrumental role.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Peter Nordins: A drummer who knows when to be tectonic

While the world looked toward digital sounds, Anekdoten dusted off the
Mellotron 400 and the cello, creating a funereal and powerful atmosphere. This
is the album of &quot;Swedish melancholy&quot;—a sense of geographic isolation
transformed into music. The influence of King Crimson (specifically the Red
era) is evident but filtered through an original Nordic sensibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The Sound: Raw, analog, dominated by Liljeström&#39;s
distorted bass. Dynamics shift from acoustic whispers to violent sonic
explosions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Key Tracks: “Karelia” (an instrumental epic defining
their style) and “Thoughts In Absence.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Nucleus (1995) –
The Sonic Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;If Vemod was sad, Nucleus is angry. It is considered
the band&#39;s most &quot;difficult&quot; and aggressive album. The production is
denser, bordering on cacophonous at points. The Mellotron is used atonally,
creating haunting dissonances. Heavy use of flute and saxophone adds a
Jazz-Core flavor. It is a brave record that challenges the listener, moving
away from past comparisons to create a wall of sound that foreshadows
Post-Metal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Key Tracks: “Nucleus” (an industrial-Prog march) and
“Harvest” (a ghostly ballad that explodes into a cathartic finale).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;From Within

synthesis. Many fans consider this their absolute masterpiece—an introspective
journey. The band learned to master silence and pauses, making the
full-throttle moments even more impactful. It is a nocturnal album, perfect for
headphone listening. The compositions are more fluid, with less gratuitous
aggression and more melodic exploration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Key Tracks: “Kiss Of Life” (hypnotic and circular) and
“The Sun Absolute.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Gravity (2003) –
The Psychedelic Turning Point&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;A significant change in direction. The band shortened
the songs and opened up to Shoegaze and alternative rock influences
(reminiscent of Radiohead or Porcupine Tree). It feels more spatial and less
bleak. Nicklas Barker’s guitars use more reverb and delay, while the cello
almost entirely disappears to make room for synthetic textures and pianos. It
is the record of &quot;lightness&quot; (by their standards), proving they
aren&#39;t prisoners of the Prog genre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Key Tracks: “Monolith” (a return to heavy roots) and
“Gravity.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;A Time of Day

fury of the early days mixed with the psychedelia of Gravity. It features
extremely high production quality—a mature, solid record where instrumental
technique serves the atmosphere. It doesn&#39;t try to shock, but rather to envelop
the listener in a continuous flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Key Tracks: “The Great Unknown” and “In For a Ride.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Chapters (2009)
– Anthology and Rarities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Not a canonical studio album, but a 2-CD collection
worth mentioning for its rarities and the track “When I Fell,” which is
fundamental to understanding their melodic evolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Until All the
Ghosts Are Gone (2015) – The Height of Maturity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Released after eight years of silence, this album is a
triumph that unites old and new fans. Thanks to guests like Theo Travis
(sax/flute) and Per Wiberg (organ), the sound is more layered than ever. The
complexity of odd time signatures returns, but with superior melodic grace. It
sounds &quot;timeless,&quot; treating themes of loss and the passing years with
sacred dignity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Key Tracks: “If It All Comes Down To You” and the
gargantuan “Until All The Ghosts Are Gone.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;One of Anekdoten’s defining traits is their absolute
loyalty to vintage instrumentation. In an era where software plugins simulate
everything, they have continued to haul heavy electromechanical machines (a
Mellotron 400 weighs about 55 kg) on tour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;They do this because the Mellotron is imperfect. It
has &quot;flaws&quot; in its tape-pulling mechanism that create that signature
fluttering, ghostly sound. Anekdoten leans into that imperfection to turn it
into poetry. In a musical world that is often too polished, they maintain an
analog grittiness that represents pure intellectual honesty. They have never
chased the charts, maintaining an integrity that has turned them into absolute
cult icons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;If you love rock that isn&#39;t afraid to be complex but
still hits you straight in the gut, they are the answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&quot;Anekdoten don&#39;t just play Progressive rock: they
inhabit it, as if it were a creaky old house full of beautiful ghosts.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

Avkrvst (pronunciato &quot;Aukrust&quot;) sono una delle rivelazioni più
luminose del panorama Progressive moderno. Con il loro debutto &quot;The Deep
Unbound&quot; avevano già scosso le fondamenta del genere, ma è con
&quot;Waving at the Sky&quot; che la band norvegese ridefinisce il proprio
spazio sonoro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;La
loro storia non è quella di una band nata per caso, ma il coronamento di
un&#39;amicizia lunga vent&#39;anni. Il nucleo pulsante è formato da Simon Bergseth e
Martin Altemark. I due iniziarono a scrivere musica insieme a soli 7 anni.
Questa sinergia quasi telepatica è il segreto della loro coesione sonora. Cresciuti
tra le foreste e le atmosfere malinconiche della Norvegia, hanno assorbito
l&#39;eredità del Prog classico (Pink Floyd, King Crimson) fondendola con la
durezza del metal moderno e l&#39;eleganza dei Porcupine Tree e degli Opeth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Dopo
aver firmato con la prestigiosa InsideOut Music, la band ha dimostrato di non
voler essere una semplice &quot;copia&quot; dei grandi maestri, ma una voce
originale capace di alternare momenti di estrema delicatezza a esplosioni di
pura potenza sonora.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Ma
veniamo al disco in questione: se il primo album era un&#39;immersione
nell&#39;oscurità e nell&#39;abisso, “Waving At The Sky” sposta lo sguardo verso
l&#39;alto, ma non per questo risulta meno denso o complesso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;E’
un trionfo di dinamica, la produzione è cristallina, permettendo a ogni
strumento di respirare, le chitarre passano da arpeggi acustici riverberati a
riff distorti che sfiorano il Progressive Death Metal. Le tastiere non sono mai
un semplice riempitivo, ma creano scenari cinematografici che ricordano le
colonne sonore degli anni &#39;70, mentre la voce di Bergseth offre una performance
versatile, capace di passare da un falsetto etereo a un growl potente (seppur
usato con estrema parsimonia), mantenendo sempre una forte carica emotiva.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;L&#39;album
può essere letto come un&#39;opera tripartita, le prime tracce stabiliscono il
mood.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Le
strutture ritmiche sono dispari e complesse, tipiche del genere, ma sempre
sorrette da una melodia memorabile, infatti Jonas Sjöblom utilizza tempi
dispari (come il 7/8 o il 5/4) senza mai perdere il senso del ritmo. È tecnica
al servizio del feeling.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Le
tracce centrali sono maggiormente sperimentali, dove band osa di più. Il Timbro
del basso è profondo, quasi &quot;gommoso&quot;, fondamentale per reggere le
strutture complesse. Troviamo suite che superano i 10 minuti dove il gruppo si
lancia in improvvisazioni controllate e cambi di tempo repentini, mantenendo
però una narrazione coerente. La terza parte gode di un finale è epico e
catartico.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Molti
testi riflettono sulla sensazione di essere piccoli di fronte all&#39;universo, un
tema tipicamente scandinavo.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Il &quot;salutare il cielo&quot;
(Waving At The Sky) può essere interpretato in due modi: come un atto di
speranza (un saluto a ciò che verrà) o come un gesto di rassegnazione (un addio
prima di sprofondare).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&quot;Waving
At The Sky&quot; conferma che gli Avkrvst non sono una meteora. È un album maturo,

style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Avkrvst (pronounced &quot;Aukrust&quot;) are one of
the brightest revelations of the modern Progressive scene. With their debut,
&quot;The Deep Unbound&quot;, they had already shaken the foundations of the
genre, but it is with &quot;Waving At The Sky&quot; that the Norwegian band
truly redefines their sonic space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Their story is not that of a band formed by chance,
but the culmination of a twenty-year friendship. The beating heart of the
project consists of Simon Bergseth and Martin Altemark, who began writing music
together at just seven years old. This almost telepathic synergy is the secret
behind their sonic cohesion. Raised amidst the forests and melancholic
atmospheres of Norway, they have absorbed the heritage of classic Prog (Pink
Floyd, King Crimson), blending it with the grit of modern Metal and the
elegance of Porcupine Tree and Opeth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;After signing with the prestigious InsideOut Music,
the band proved they are not merely a &quot;copy&quot; of the great masters,
but an original voice capable of alternating moments of extreme delicacy with
explosions of pure sonic power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Turning to the album in question: if their first
record was an immersion into darkness and the abyss, &quot;Waving At The
Sky&quot; shifts the gaze upward, though it is no less dense or complex for it.
It is a triumph of dynamics; the production is crystalline, allowing every
instrument to breathe. The guitars transition from reverberated acoustic
arpeggios to distorted riffs bordering on Progressive Death Metal. The
keyboards are never mere filler, creating cinematic soundscapes reminiscent of
1970s soundtracks, while Bergseth’s vocals deliver a versatile
performance—moving from ethereal falsettos to powerful growls (albeit used with
extreme restraint), always maintaining a strong emotional charge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The album can be read as a tripartite work. The opening
tracks establish the mood; the rhythmic structures are odd and complex, typical
of the genre, yet always supported by memorable melodies. Indeed, Jonas Sjöblom
utilizes odd time signatures (such as $7/8$ or $5/4$) without ever losing the
sense of rhythm. It is technique at the service of feeling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The central tracks are more experimental, where the
band dares to push further. The bass tone is deep, almost &quot;rubbery,&quot;
which is fundamental for anchoring the complex structures. We find suites
exceeding 10 minutes where the group launches into controlled improvisations
and sudden tempo changes, all while maintaining a coherent narrative. The third
part culminates in an epic and cathartic finale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Many lyrics reflect on the sensation of being small in
the face of the universe—a typically Scandinavian theme. &quot;Waving At The
Sky&quot; can be interpreted in two ways: as an act of hope (a wave to what is
to come) or as a gesture of resignation (a goodbye before sinking).&quot;Waving
At The Sky&quot; confirms that Avkrvst are no flash in the pan. It is a mature,
layered, and deeply honest album. It is an essential listen for anyone who
loves Progressive music that manages to be both cerebral and visceral. MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

musica e &lt;/span&gt;nell&#39;editoria&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;si è molto parlato del genere Progressive Rock, dato per
morto da molti alla fine del 1978 ma successivamente risorto dalle proprie
ceneri grazie al Neo Prog (sempre inglese).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Nel
tempo è stato etichettato in molti modi, addirittura musica per dinosauri; ha
diviso il pubblico sul proprio significato suddividendolo in sottogeneri,
insomma molta confusione attorno al Progressive Rock e ettolitri d’inchiostro
versati per parlarne, ma in pochi si sono chiesti il perché si ascolta questa
musica, specialmente oggi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Personalmente
la vedo così:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
Progressive Rock (o &quot;Prog&quot;) non è solo un genere musicale; è quasi
una sfida intellettuale e sensoriale. Se sei abituato alla struttura classica
&quot;strofa-ritornello&quot; della radio, il Prog potrebbe sembrarti alieno
all&#39;inizio, ma è proprio qui che risiede il suo fascino.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;È
Musica &quot;Senza Limiti&quot; dove le regole non esistono. Una canzone può
durare 2 minuti o 20 minuti (pensa a Echoes dei Pink Floyd o Supper&#39;s Ready dei
Genesis).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;I
musicisti fondono insieme: Rock e Blues, Musica Classica (strutture sinfoniche),
Jazz (improvvisazione e ritmi complessi), Heavy Metal, Folk e altri generi
ancora.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Una
prerogativa importante deriva dal fatto che allena l&#39;orecchio e il Cervello. Il
pop moderno è spesso prevedibile, il Prog, invece, usa tempi dispari (come il
5/4 o il 7/8) che spezzano il ritmo consueto. Ascoltarlo è come risolvere un
puzzle sonoro, ti costringe a prestare attenzione e a non dare nulla per
scontato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In
più racconta storie incredibili ed è anche teatrale. Molti album sono Concept
Album, ovvero dischi che raccontano un&#39;unica grande storia dall&#39;inizio alla
fine. È l&#39;equivalente musicale di un romanzo fantasy o di un film di
fantascienza. Esempio: “The Wall” dei Pink Floyd o “2112” dei Rush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;E’
facilmente riconoscibile soprattutto grazie al virtuosismo tecnico. Se ami
vedere qualcuno che padroneggia il proprio strumento ai limiti dell&#39;umano, il Prog
è il tuo regno. Tastiere multistrato, assoli di chitarra epici e batterie che
sembrano polipi in azione. Gruppi come gli Yes, i King Crimson, Gentle Giant o

ascoltare Prog ha più senso che mai. Se negli anni &#39;70 era una rivoluzione
contro la semplicità del Rock&#39;N&#39;Roll, oggi è l&#39;antidoto perfetto alla
&quot;musica usa e getta&quot; e all&#39;attenzione frammentata tipica dell&#39;era dei
social.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;È
una forma di &quot;Mindfulness&quot; musicale, perché viviamo in un mondo di
video da 15 secondi e playlist algoritmiche. Ascoltare un brano di 15 minuti è
un atto di ribellione intellettuale. Ti costringe a rallentare, a concentrarti
e a immergerti in un flusso narrativo. È l&#39;equivalente del leggere un libro
invece di scorrere i titoli su un feed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
Prog non è rimasto bloccato ai mantelli di velluto degli anni &#39;70. Oggi vive in
generi modernissimi: Metal Progressivo, band come i Tool o i Dream Theater
hanno portato la complessità in territori pesanti.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Djent,
gruppi come i Meshuggah o i Periphery usano la matematica ritmica del Prog per
creare suoni futuristici.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Ma
gli esempi potrebbero essere a centinaia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Un
altro fattore da non sottovalutare è la tecnologia che ha reso possibile
l&#39;impossibile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Negli
anni &#39;70, registrare un album Prog richiedeva budget enormi e studi faraonici.
Oggi, con un computer e il software giusto, un musicista può comporre
orchestrazioni che avrebbero fatto impallidire i pionieri del genere. Questo ha
portato a una nuova ondata di band indipendenti (come gli Haken o i Leprous)
che stanno spingendo i confini ancora più in là.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Anche
in Italia il genere è un patrimonio attivo, non è solo nostalgia. Mentre band
storiche come la PFM, Orme o il Banco del Mutuo Soccorso continuano a produrre,
c&#39;è una scena underground italiana vivissima che è rispettata in tutto il mondo
per la sua capacità di unire melodia mediterranea e strutture folli. Un esempio
lampante lo avete proprio voi che ora avete visitato il mio blog con più di
mille recensioni di gruppi italiani (e io sono da solo!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Quindi,
ascoltarlo oggi ha senso perché è una delle poche isole rimaste dove la
complessità non è vista come un difetto, ma come un valore. In un&#39;epoca che
premia la semplicità estrema, il Prog celebra l&#39;ambizione umana di fare
qualcosa di difficile e straordinario.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In
parole povere ascolti Progressive Rock quando vuoi che la musica smetta di
essere un sottofondo e diventi un&#39;esperienza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Prog

data-path-to-node=&quot;4&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;Progressive Rock&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;. Many declared it dead by the end of 1978, only for it to rise from its own ashes thanks to Neo-Prog (again, hailing from England).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Over time, it has been labeled in many ways—even called &quot;music for dinosaurs.&quot; It has divided audiences over its meaning and been splintered into countless subgenres. In short, there is much confusion surrounding Progressive Rock and hectoliters of ink have been spilled discussing it; yet, few have asked &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i data-index-in-node=&quot;306&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;5&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;why&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt; people listen to this music, especially today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;6&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;Personally, I see it like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Progressive Rock (or &quot;Prog&quot;) isn&#39;t just a musical genre; it is almost an &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;73&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;7&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;intellectual and sensory challenge&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;. If you are used to the classic &quot;verse-chorus&quot; structure of the radio, Prog might seem alien at first, but that is exactly where its charm lies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;It is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;6&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;8&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;&quot;Limitless&quot; Music&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt; where rules do not exist. A song can last 2 minutes or 20 minutes (think of Pink Floyd’s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i data-index-in-node=&quot;113&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;8&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;Echoes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt; or Genesis’s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i data-index-in-node=&quot;133&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;8&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;Supper’s Ready&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;). Musicians blend together: Rock and Blues, Classical music (symphonic structures), Jazz (improvisation and complex rhythms), Heavy Metal, Folk, and many other genres.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;A major prerogative of the genre is that it &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;44&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;9&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;trains the ear and the brain&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;. Modern pop is often predictable; Prog, instead, utilizes odd time signatures (like &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;math-inline&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;157&quot; data-math=&quot;5/4&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;$5/4$&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt; or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;math-inline&quot; data-index-in-node=&quot;164&quot; data-math=&quot;7/8&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;$7/8$&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;) that break the usual rhythm. Listening to it is like solving a sonic puzzle; it forces you to pay attention and take nothing for granted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Furthermore, it tells incredible stories and is inherently &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;59&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;10&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;theatrical&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;.

It is the musical equivalent of a fantasy novel or a sci-fi film. Examples include Pink Floyd’s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i data-index-in-node=&quot;260&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;10&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;The Wall&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt; or Rush’s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i data-index-in-node=&quot;279&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;10&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;2112&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;It is easily recognizable, above all, thanks to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;48&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;11&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;technical virtuosity&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;. If you love seeing someone master their instrument to the limits of human capability, Prog is your kingdom. Multi-layered keyboards, epic guitar solos, and drums that look like octopuses in action. Bands like Yes, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, or ELP redefined what it means to &quot;know how to play.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Google Sans Text&amp;quot;, sans-serif !important; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Does it make sense to listen to it today?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Google Sans Text&amp;quot;, sans-serif !important; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, listening to Prog makes more sense than ever. If in the &#39;70s it was a revolution against the simplicity of Rock &#39;N&#39; Roll, today it is the &lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;145&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;13&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;perfect antidote to &quot;disposable music&quot;&lt;/b&gt; and the fragmented attention span typical of the social media era.&lt;br /&gt;It is a form of &lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;16&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;14&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;musical &quot;Mindfulness.&quot;&lt;/b&gt; Because we live in a world of 15-second videos and algorithmic playlists, listening to a 15-minute track is an act of intellectual rebellion. It forces you to slow down, to focus, and to immerse yourself in a narrative flow. It is the equivalent of reading a book instead of scrolling through headlines on a feed.&lt;br /&gt;Prog didn&#39;t get stuck in the velvet capes of the 1970s. Today, it lives on in cutting-edge modern genres:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;16,0,0&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;Progressive Metal:&lt;/b&gt; Bands like Tool or Dream Theater have brought complexity into &quot;heavy&quot; territories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;16,1,0&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;Djent:&lt;/b&gt; Groups like Meshuggah or Periphery use the rhythmic mathematics of Prog to create futuristic sounds.&lt;br /&gt;(And there are hundreds of other examples.)&lt;br /&gt;Another factor not to be underestimated is &lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;43&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;17&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;technology&lt;/b&gt;, which has made the impossible possible. In the &#39;70s, recording a Prog album required enormous budgets and pharaonic studios. Today, with a computer and the right software, a musician can compose orchestrations that would have made the pioneers of the genre pale in comparison. This has led to a new wave of independent bands (like Haken or Leprous) who are pushing the boundaries even further.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;18&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;Even in Italy&lt;/b&gt;, the genre is an active heritage, not just nostalgia. While historic bands like PFM, Le Orme, or Banco del Mutuo Soccorso continue to produce, there is a vibrant Italian underground scene respected worldwide for its ability to blend Mediterranean melody with insane structures. A clear example is right here: you have visited my blog, which features over a thousand reviews of Italian groups (and I do it all alone!).&lt;br /&gt;So, listening to it today makes sense because it is one of the few remaining islands where &lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;91&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;19&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;complexity is not seen as a flaw, but as a value&lt;/b&gt;. In an era that rewards extreme simplicity, Prog celebrates the human ambition to create something difficult and extraordinary.&lt;br /&gt;Simply put: you listen to Progressive Rock when you want music to stop being background noise and start being an &lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;113&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;20&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;experience&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b data-index-in-node=&quot;0&quot; data-path-to-node=&quot;21&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.15 !important; margin-top: 0px !important;&quot;&gt;Prog on!

ascoltatori disdegnano il suono Hard o Metal perché ritenuto limitato e troppo
“rumoroso”; non sono mie parole, ma un dato di fatto constatato nel tempo
leggendo riviste e navigando nel web. Questo giudizio è superficiale perché, se
vogliamo parlare di gusti personali, allora concordo sul fatto che possa non
piacere il suono elettrico e spesso distorto; ma se parliamo di tecnica, allora
c’è un errore di fondo. L’Hard non è mai rimasto fermo a crogiolarsi sugli
allori, bensì si è aperto a contaminazioni che lo hanno avvicinato (soprattutto
per l’uso delle tastiere) al Progressive Rock. Il discorso è analogo per il
Metal, il Death Metal, il Doom e così via.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Proprio
quest’ultimo stile è il territorio in cui navigano L’Ira Del Baccano, band che
oggi con “The Praise Of Folly” giunge al quinto album ufficiale in studio. La
scelta di comporre musica senza un cantato li relega in un settore ancor più di
nicchia, lasciando voce soltanto agli strumenti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Rispetto
all’ultimo album del 2023, intitolato “Cosmic Evoked Potentials”, c’è un
avvicendamento al basso: Gabriele Montemara prende il posto di Ivan Contini
Bacchisio. Per il resto le basi rimangono le stesse: i leader Alessandro
Santori (chitarre, loop, synth) e Roberto Maldera (chitarre, effetti, chitarra
slide, synth), con Gianluca Giannasso (batteria).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Penetrare
nel Doom Prog della band significa fare un vero e proprio trip sonoro; so bene
che questo termine è alquanto inflazionato, però è la verità dei fatti.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
disco è impreziosito dalla bellissima copertina di Michele Carnielli ed è stato
masterizzato da Claudio Gruer presso il Pisi Studio. Da notare che gli
strumenti principali sono stati registrati live in una sola ripresa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Ma
veniamo alla musica: il lato A dell’LP contiene un solo brano suddiviso in due
parti, “The Praise Of Folly”, per una durata totale di ventuno minuti. Ciò che
prevale è l’oscurità che grava spesso sopra il nostro immaginario, rapito
dall’ascolto. Suoni profondi che si alternano a parti maggiormente elettriche,
deformate in differenti stili e forme, rilasciano buoni riff che richiamano
alla mente, nei tratti più Hard, i fasti dei grandi Black Sabbath. Se vogliamo
parlare di influenze, aggiungerei i Pink Floyd per i tratti maggiormente
spaziali assieme agli Hawkwind, e poi Rush e King Buffalo. Ottimo il lavoro
della sezione ritmica, spesso ipnotica ma altamente raffinata e tecnica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
lato B contiene due brani: “Stigma” e “Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead”.
Quest’ultimo è un lamento doloroso, dove il mondo sembra sparire da sotto i
piedi per sprofondare nel buio infinito: una sensazione che raramente si prova,
se non negli incubi notturni. Tuttavia, trattandosi di Hard Prog, non mancano
schiarite e cambi di tempo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;L’Ira
Del Baccano, agli esordi, fu scoperta dal maestro del Doom Paolo Catena (ex
Death SS), con il quale produssero un mini-LP con il nome primordiale di
Loosin’ o’ Frequencies. Il bravo chitarrista ci vide lungo già allora, così
come fece con l’altra band Prog, gli A Piedi Nudi, che vi consiglio di andare a
scoprire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Detto
questo, “The Praise Of Folly” è l&#39;ennesimo tassello importante non soltanto per
la loro discografia, ma per tutto il panorama italico, il quale in questo 2026
sta già dando moltissime soddisfazioni. Un gran disco che sa rapirti la mente!

they consider them limited and too &quot;noisy&quot;; these are not my words,
but a fact observed over time by reading magazines and browsing the web. This
judgment is superficial because, while I agree that one might not personally
like electric and often distorted sounds, there is a fundamental error when it
comes to technique. Hard Rock has never sat idly by, resting on its laurels;
instead, it has opened up to influences that have brought it closer to
Progressive Rock (especially through the use of keyboards). The same applies to
Metal, Death Metal, Doom, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;This latter style is precisely the territory navigated
by L’Ira Del Baccano, a band that now reaches its fifth official studio album
with “The Praise Of Folly”. The choice to compose music without vocals
relegates them to an even narrower niche, letting only the instruments speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Compared to their 2023 album, “Cosmic Evoked
Potentials”, there is a change on bass: Gabriele Montemara takes over from Ivan
Contini Bacchisio. Otherwise, the foundation remains the same: leaders
Alessandro Santori (guitars, loops, synth) and Roberto Maldera (guitars,
effects, slide guitar, synth), with Gianluca Giannasso (drums).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Delving into the band’s Doom Prog means taking a
literal &quot;sonic trip&quot;; I am well aware that this term is somewhat
overused, but it is the simple truth. The record is enhanced by Michele
Carnielli&#39;s beautiful cover art and was mastered by Claudio Gruer at Pisi
Studio. It is worth noting that the main instruments were recorded live in a
single take.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;But let’s get to the music: Side A of the LP contains
a single track divided into two parts, “The Praise Of Folly”, with a total
duration of twenty-one minutes. What prevails is a darkness that often looms
over our imagination, captivated by the listening experience. Deep sounds
alternating with more electric sections—deformed into different styles and
shapes—release solid riffs that bring to mind the glory of the great Black Sabbath
in the heavier passages. If we want to talk about influences, I would add Pink
Floyd for the more &quot;spacey&quot; sections along with Hawkwind, followed by
Rush and King Buffalo. The work of the rhythm section is excellent—often
hypnotic, yet highly refined and technical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Side B contains two tracks: “Stigma” and “Rosencrantz
And Guildenstern Are Dead”. The latter is a sorrowful lament, where the world
seems to disappear from under your feet only to sink into infinite darkness: a
sensation rarely felt outside of nocturnal nightmares. However, since this is
Hard Prog, there is no shortage of &quot;clearings&quot; and time signature
changes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In their early days, L’Ira Del Baccano was discovered
by Doom master Paolo Catena (ex-Death SS), with whom they produced a mini-LP
under the original name Loosin’ o’ Frequencies. The talented guitarist showed
great foresight back then, just as he did with the other Prog band A Piedi
Nudi, which I recommend you check out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;That said, “The Praise Of Folly” is yet another
important piece—not just for their discography, but for the entire Italian
scene, which is already proving to be highly rewarding in this year 2026. A
great record that knows how to seize your mind! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/K0tBLtR31qo&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;K0tBLtR31qo&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

otto anni di distanza dall&#39;esordio omonimo, il supergruppo anglo-scandinavo
Galasphere 347 torna con idee cristalline e una schiera di ospiti d&#39;eccezione:
Jacob Holm-Lupo (&quot;White Willow&quot;), Bjørn Riis (&quot;Airbag&quot;),
John Jowitt (ex &quot;IQ&quot;, &quot;Jadis&quot;, &quot;Arena&quot;), Myke
Clifford e Pete Smith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
nucleo della band vede schierati Stephen James Bennett (voce, chitarre e
tastiere analogiche, celebre per l&#39;uso dell&#39;ARP Odyssey), Ketil Vestrum
Einarsen (flauto e programmazione) e Mattias Olsson (batteria ed
&quot;exotica&quot; elettrica).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Se
il debutto si presentava come una suite spaziale divisa in tre tracce,
&quot;The Syntax Of Things&quot; sceglie una struttura più articolata ma
altrettanto epica, composta da sette movimenti che richiamano la mitologia
greca nei sottotitoli. I riferimenti a divinità come Eris, Nyx e Persefone non
servono a narrare miti classici, bensì a personificare stati emotivi: la
discordia interna in &quot;Broken Bones (Eris)&quot;, l&#39;oscurità del pensiero
in &quot;Nighthawks (Nyx)&quot; e la rinascita ciclica in &quot;Persephone
(Kore)&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;L&#39;album
è un trionfo di Mellotron, sintetizzatori Moog e Gizmotron, ma evita la
trappola della semplice nostalgia. La produzione è limpida e spinge il sound
verso territori Krautrock e Dark Wave, creando un&#39;atmosfera densa e talvolta
claustrofobica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;L&#39;apertura
di &quot;Hiraeth Pt.1 (Cronus)&quot; suggerisce inizialmente un Prog moderno
che vira repentinamente verso sonorità beatlesiane.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;La
vera sorpresa arriva però con &quot;Life As An Architect (Hestia)&quot;, una
mini-suite di dieci minuti caratterizzata da un finale pirotecnico, in cui il
flauto di Einarsen dialoga con l&#39;enfasi del Mellotron in modo micidiale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
livello qualitativo resta altissimo con &quot;Broken Bones (Eris)&quot;, brano
impreziosito dagli interventi di Riis alla chitarra, Jowitt al basso e Clifford
al sax. Anche in questo caso è la chiusura a regalare le emozioni più forti,
grazie a un’impronta chitarristica marcatamente &quot;pinkfloydiana&quot;.
Segue &quot;Nighthawks (Nyx)&quot;, una ballata soave e introspettiva che punta
tutto sull&#39;ottimo dialogo tra piano e voce, mentre &quot;Persephone
(Kore)&quot; recupera il ritmo con tastiere in stile &quot;Genesis&quot;,
rispettando i canoni più puri del genere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;La
title track, &quot;The Syntax Of Things&quot;, suggerisce che la vita non sia
fatta solo di eventi, ma del modo in cui li colleghiamo tra loro (la
&quot;grammatica&quot; dell&#39;esistenza). Nonostante i toni cupi, il finale
affidato alla chitarra di Bjørn Riis evoca una catarsi e la possibilità di un
futuro oltre la perdita; il tutto sviluppato in oltre dieci minuti di musica
ricercata ma accessibile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Chiude
il disco &quot;Hiraeth Pt.2 (Aion)&quot; — termine gallese che indica la
nostalgia per un luogo o un tempo mai esistiti — sigillando un lavoro capace di
emozionare profondamente. Un ritorno in pompa magna, destinato a girare spesso
nel mio stereo. MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

Anglo-Scandinavian supergroup Galasphere 347 returns with a crystal-clear
vision and a stellar lineup of guest musicians: Jacob Holm-Lupo (&quot;White
Willow&quot;), Bjørn Riis (&quot;Airbag&quot;), John Jowitt (ex-&quot;IQ&quot;,
&quot;Jadis&quot;, &quot;Arena&quot;), Myke Clifford, and Pete Smith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The core of the band features Stephen James Bennett
(vocals, guitars, and analog keyboards, renowned for his use of the ARP
Odyssey), Ketil Vestrum Einarsen (flute and programming), and Mattias Olsson
(drums and electric &quot;exotica&quot;). While their debut was a spatial suite
divided into three long tracks, &quot;The Syntax Of Things&quot; opts for a
more complex yet equally epic structure, consisting of seven movements that
invoke Greek mythology in their subtitles. These references to deities such as
Eris, Nyx, and Persephone are not intended to recount classical myths, but
rather to personify emotional states: internal discord in &quot;Broken Bones
(Eris)&quot;, the darkness of thought in &quot;Nighthawks (Nyx)&quot;, and
cyclic rebirth in &quot;Persephone (Kore)&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The album is a triumph of Mellotron, Moog
synthesizers, and the Gizmotron, yet it skillfully avoids the trap of mere
nostalgia. The production is pristine, pushing the sound toward Krautrock and
Dark Wave territories, creating an atmosphere that is dense and, at times,
claustrophobic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The opening of &quot;Hiraeth Pt.1 (Cronus)&quot;
initially suggests a modern Prog style that suddenly pivots toward Beatlesque
sonorities. However, the first real surprise arrives with &quot;Life As An
Architect (Hestia)&quot;, a ten-minute mini-suite characterized by a pyrotechnic
finale where Einarsen’s flute dialogues fiercely with the emphasis of the
Mellotron. Truly lethal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The quality remains exceptionally high with
&quot;Broken Bones (Eris)&quot;, a track embellished by Riis’s guitar work,
Jowitt’s bass, and Clifford’s saxophone. Once again, the finale provides the
most powerful emotions, thanks to a markedly &quot;Pink Floydian&quot; guitar
touch—unsurprising given Riis’s background with &quot;Airbag&quot;. This is
followed by &quot;Nighthawks (Nyx)&quot;, a suave and introspective ballad that
centers on an excellent dialogue between piano and vocals, while
&quot;Persephone (Kore)&quot; picks up the pace with &quot;Genesis-style&quot;
keyboards, honoring the purest canons of the genre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The title track, &quot;The Syntax Of Things&quot;,
suggests that life is not merely a series of events, but the way in which we
connect them (the &quot;grammar&quot; of existence). Despite the often somber
tones, the finale—entrusted to Bjørn Riis’s guitar—evokes a sense of catharsis
and the possibility of a future beyond loss; all developed across ten minutes
of sophisticated yet accessible music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The record closes with &quot;Hiraeth Pt.2 (Aion)&quot;
— a Welsh term indicating a deep longing for a home or a time that perhaps
never existed — sealing a work capable of profound emotion. A grand return,
destined to spend a lot of time on my turntable. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nonsoloprogrock.blogspot.com/feeds/1559998362825556366/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nonsoloprogrock.blogspot.com/2026/02/galasphere-347.html#comment-form' title='2 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1085518056393735456/posts/default/1559998362825556366'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1085518056393735456/posts/default/1559998362825556366'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nonsoloprogrock.blogspot.com/2026/02/galasphere-347.html' title='Galasphere 347'/><author><name>Max</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17616482447017580617</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJngIKV7JjiGy5ffirKNGgwMnTxFwLR7wxiExprSbxC4R_E1gRs6UF4BKPAwAS8H1ywsMcZIZdbM47r-PMQcZW1NZm453SV5qbuQvMr4RhIzKmGvQ60DfLROtDGpB93g/s33/DSC_5569.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJuX_FZJrbaZ6zYQ6EWDJ34xCyovzNUvGqCigKORyJLS1cdtkHgIx42sH4Hgw_AeXcLnG8cn-IwtCZQVlj6AGBokx7hYmBdHEIpX5kKPR7klZd_5SEH3Bc2O1zlUpIPa9IWwnF41kk1Ja1m9OiWCeDAnBWoOXIB0Cen2bmJoRz37e5zFkHjPkISMxKFXyN/s72-w248-h248-c/Galasphere%20347.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085518056393735456.post-7200926024229351968</id><published>2026-02-18T06:00:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2026-02-18T06:00:00.114+01:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="RECENSIONI"/><title type='text'>Hällas</title><content type='html'>&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;HÄLLAS –

“Excerpts From A Future Past”... E che disco! Da allora li ho sempre seguiti,
apprezzando anche i successivi “Conundrum” (2020) e “Isle Of Wisdom” (2022). La
band ama definire la propria proposta “Adventure Rock” e non ha tutti i torti,
specialmente in questo nuovo lavoro intitolato “Panorama”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;L&#39;idea del concept album legato al personaggio del cavaliere è un
elemento ricorrente nella loro storia (iniziata con l’EP omonimo), spesso
approfondito nelle interviste e su portali come Prog Archives. Hällas, dunque,
non è una semplice mascotte, ma il protagonista di una narrazione frammentata
che trasforma i dischi in capitoli di una saga fantasy/sci-fi. Si tratta di un
cavaliere errante, un eroe tragico che vive in un mondo dove il confine tra
medioevo e fantascienza distopica è quasi inesistente. Lungi dall&#39;essere il
classico paladino senza macchia, è una figura malinconica, descritta come
l&#39;ultimo difensore di un ordine ormai decaduto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Quale musica serve per tessere le lodi di un simile protagonista? Si
potrebbe pensare a qualcosa di puramente epico; in effetti non mancano tratti
solenni, ma qui siamo al cospetto soprattutto di Progressive Rock, Hard Rock
anni ’70 e Space Rock. La voce di Tommy Alexandersson è acida e roca, molto
simile a quella di Peter Gabriel (non a caso il cantante fa uso del face
painting). La formazione è completata da Rickard Swahn (chitarra), Marcus
Petersson (chitarra), Nicklas Malmqvist (tastiere) e Kasper Eriksson
(batteria).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;La suite iniziale, “Above The Continuum”, mette in tavola in ventuno
minuti tutte le carte a disposizione del gruppo: dall’approccio a tratti
recitativo di Alexandersson ai soli di chitarra tipicamente nordici, capaci di
evocare atmosfere grevi. Le tastiere, d&#39;altro canto, donano la sopraccitata
epicità. Il brano è come un viaggio interstellare a bordo di un castello
volante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;L’andamento muta con “Face Of An Angel”; scandito dal ritmo di un
galoppo, il pezzo sfoggia chitarre gemelle e synth vintage. Secondo singolo
estratto dall’album, risulta un movimento orecchiabile e facile da ricordare. A
seguire troviamo il primo estratto, “The Emissary”, dove l’Hard Rock si palesa
con decisione pur mantenendo un cantato prossimo allo stile di Gabriel. Ottima
la fase strumentale, trascinante e ben congeniata nel dialogo tra tastiere e
chitarre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Un pianoforte malinconico apre invece “Bestiaus”, il momento più onirico
e psichedelico dell&#39;intero lavoro. Il titolo sembra richiamare una creatura
mitologica, forse una distorsione del latino bestia o un riferimento a una
lingua immaginaria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;“At The Summit” conclude il concept inizialmente con un intreccio di
chitarre acustiche dai fasti medievali, per poi tramutare in una risoluzione
trionfale: il protagonista raggiunge finalmente un punto di osservazione
privilegiato. Dalla cima, le battaglie e le sofferenze del passato appaiono
piccole e distanti, lasciando spazio a un senso di accettazione del destino,
tema carissimo alla band. Il gruppo utilizza spesso questo pezzo in sede live
verso la fine della scaletta, proprio per la sua capacità di trascinare il pubblico
verso un finale epico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;“Panorama” è un ottimo disco analogico con i piedi in due staffe: il

band Hällas back in 2017 with the album “Excerpts From A Future Past”... and
what a record it was! I have followed them ever since, appreciating their
subsequent releases, “Conundrum” (2020) and “Isle Of Wisdom” (2022). The band
likes to define their music as “Adventure Rock,” and they aren&#39;t wrong,
especially regarding this new work titled “Panorama.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The concept album idea centered on a knight
character is a recurring element in their history (which began with their
self-titled EP), often explored in interviews and on portals like Prog
Archives. Hällas, therefore, is not a simple mascot but the protagonist of a
fragmented narrative that transforms their records into chapters of a
fantasy/sci-fi saga. He is a knight-errant, a tragic hero living in a world
where the boundary between the Middle Ages and dystopian science fiction is
almost non-existent. Far from being a classic, stainless paladin, he is a
melancholic figure, described as the last defender of a now-decayed order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;What kind of music is needed to weave the deeds
of such a protagonist? One might expect something purely epic; indeed, solemn
passages are not lacking, but here we are primarily in the presence of
Progressive Rock, &#39;70s Hard Rock, and Space Rock. Tommy Alexandersson’s voice
is acidic and raspy, very similar to Peter Gabriel’s (it is no coincidence that
the singer also uses face painting). The lineup is completed by Rickard Swahn
(guitar), Marcus Petersson (guitar), Nicklas Malmqvist (keyboards), and Kasper
Eriksson (drums).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The opening suite, “Above The Continuum,” lays
all the band&#39;s cards on the table across twenty-one minutes: from
Alexandersson’s occasionally recitative approach to typically Nordic guitar
solos that evoke heavy atmospheres. The keyboards, on the other hand, provide
the aforementioned sense of epicness. The track feels like an interstellar
journey aboard a flying castle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The pace changes with “Face Of An Angel”; driven
by a galloping rhythm, the piece features twin guitars and vintage synths. As
the second single extracted from the album, it is a catchy and memorable
movement. This is followed by the first lead single, “The Emissary,” where Hard
Rock manifests decisively while maintaining a vocal style close to Gabriel&#39;s.
The instrumental phase is excellent—engaging and well-crafted through a
dialogue between keyboards and guitars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;A melancholic piano opens “Bestiaus,” the most
dreamlike and psychedelic moment of the entire work. The title seems to recall
a mythological creature, perhaps a distortion of the Latin bestia or a
reference to an imaginary language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;“At The Summit” concludes the concept, initially
with an interplay of acoustic guitars reminiscent of medieval splendor, before
transforming into a triumphant resolution: the protagonist finally reaches a
privileged vantage point. From the peak, the battles and sufferings of the past
appear small and distant, giving way to a sense of accepting one&#39;s destiny—a
theme very dear to the band. The group often uses this track in a live setting
toward the end of the setlist, precisely for its ability to pull the audience
into an epic finale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;“Panorama” is a great analog record with its feet
in two worlds: the past and the present. For many, it could represent a wonderful
surprise; give it a listen. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/WSbZwuOHLvE&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;WSbZwuOHLvE&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Soen sono emersi nel 2010 come una sorta di &quot;supergruppo&quot; d&#39;élite,
inizialmente noti per la presenza del leggendario batterista Martin Lopez
(ex-Opeth) e del bassista Steve Di Giorgio. La loro evoluzione storica è stata
un viaggio affascinante: partiti con il debutto “Cognitive” (2012), sono stati
spesso etichettati come cloni dei Tool, un paragone che hanno poi smantellato
disco dopo disco. Con il passare degli anni e l&#39;ingresso del chitarrista Cody
Ford, la band ha raffinato un sound unico che fonde la potenza del Metal Progressivo
con una sensibilità melodica quasi introspettiva, guidata dalla voce vellutata
e intensa di Joel Ekelöf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Reliance”
è il settimo sigillo dei Soen, uscito il 16 gennaio 2026, e rappresenta un
punto di arrivo cruciale per la band svedese. Storicamente, il gruppo è passato
attraverso una metamorfosi straordinaria, partendo dalle radici Prog-Metal
intricate dei primi anni 2010 per approdare oggi a un suono che è pura
&quot;essenza&quot;: brani più compatti, quasi tutti sotto i cinque minuti, ma
carichi di una tensione emotiva che pochi altri sanno gestire.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In
questo lavoro, la formazione composta dal nucleo storico Martin Lopez e Joel
Ekelöf, insieme a Cody Ford, Stefan Stenberg e Lars Enok Åhlund, perfeziona la
formula già esplorata in “Memorial” (2023), spingendosi però verso una
produzione ancora più nitida e dinamica curata da Alexander Backlund. L&#39;album
si apre con la potenza di &quot;Primal&quot;, un pezzo che mette subito in
chiaro l&#39;intento del disco: riff pesanti e sincopati che si risolvono in
ritornelli di una bellezza melodica disarmante, dove Ekelöf dimostra di essere
una delle voci più mature del panorama Rock contemporaneo.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Brani
come &quot;Mercenary&quot; e &quot;Discordia&quot; affrontano temi sociali e
psicologici complessi, parlando di tradimento, corruzione e della lotta per
restare umani in un mondo digitale che ci vorrebbe divisi, mentre pezzi come
&quot;Indifferent&quot; mostrano il lato più vulnerabile e spogliato della
band, affidandosi a pianoforte e interpretazioni quasi confessionali.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;La
sezione ritmica di Lopez resta il cuore pulsante, capace di rendere
&quot;facili&quot; tempi dispari e incastri che altrove risulterebbero ostici,
mentre Cody Ford regala assoli che non cercano mai la velocità fine a se
stessa, ma preferiscono il feeling &quot;gilmouriano&quot;, come si avverte
chiaramente nella splendida chiusura di &quot;Vellichor&quot;.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Sebbene
alcuni fan della prima ora possano lamentare l&#39;abbandono delle strutture lunghe
e labirintiche di “Cognitive”, “Reliance” è la testimonianza di una band che ha
trovato la fiducia (appunto, la &quot;reliance&quot;) totale nei propri mezzi
espressivi, scegliendo la qualità del messaggio e l&#39;impatto emotivo diretto
sopra ogni virtuosismo superfluo.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;È
un disco che non inventa nuovi generi, ma che nobilita l&#39;Heavy Rock moderno

&quot;supergroup,&quot; initially known for the presence of legendary drummer
Martin Lopez (ex-Opeth) and bassist Steve Di Giorgio. Their historical
evolution has been a fascinating journey: starting with their debut “Cognitive”
(2012), they were often labeled as Tool clones—a comparison they dismantled
album after album. Over the years, and with the addition of guitarist Cody
Ford, the band has refined a unique sound that blends the power of Progressive
Metal with an almost introspective melodic sensitivity, guided by the velvety
and intense vocals of Joel Ekelöf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Reliance” is Soen’s seventh seal, released on January
16, 2026, and represents a crucial milestone for the Swedish band.
Historically, the group has undergone an extraordinary metamorphosis, moving
from the intricate Prog-Metal roots of the early 2010s to arrive today at a
sound that is pure &quot;essence&quot;: more compact tracks, nearly all under
five minutes, yet charged with an emotional tension that few others can manage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In this work, the lineup consisting of the core duo
Martin Lopez and Joel Ekelöf, alongside Cody Ford, Stefan Stenberg, and Lars
Enok Åhlund, perfects the formula already explored in “Memorial” (2023), while
pushing toward an even sharper and more dynamic production handled by Alexander
Backlund. The album opens with the power of &quot;Primal,&quot; a track that
immediately clarifies the record&#39;s intent: heavy, syncopated riffs that resolve
into choruses of disarming melodic beauty, where Ekelöf proves to be one of the
most mature voices in the contemporary Rock scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Tracks like &quot;Mercenary&quot; and
&quot;Discordia&quot; tackle complex social and psychological themes, speaking
of betrayal, corruption, and the struggle to remain human in a digital world
that seeks to divide us, while pieces like &quot;Indifferent&quot; showcase the
band&#39;s most vulnerable and stripped-back side, relying on piano and almost
confessional performances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Lopez&#39;s rhythm section remains the beating heart,
capable of making odd time signatures and patterns that would be daunting
elsewhere seem &quot;easy,&quot; while Cody Ford delivers solos that never
chase speed for its own sake, preferring a &quot;Gilmouresque&quot; feeling, as
clearly heard in the splendid closing of &quot;Vellichor.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Although some early fans might lament the abandonment
of the long, labyrinthine structures of “Cognitive,” “Reliance” is a testament
to a band that has found total confidence (indeed, &quot;reliance&quot;) in its
expressive means, choosing message quality and direct emotional impact over any
superfluous virtuosity. It is a record that doesn&#39;t reinvent genres but
ennobles modern Heavy Rock, elevating it to a poetic and cathartic dimension
rarely reached by their peers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/V6LQ7SZh-tY&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;V6LQ7SZh-tY&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;

è una domanda che ci stiamo ponendo un poco tutti, sia per preoccupazione per
un esercito di professionisti intenti nel proprio lavoro che vedono minato dall’avvento
dell’IA, sia per la qualità delle uscite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;In
effetti la musica oggi, nel 2026, si trova in un momento di trasformazione
radicale che non riguarda solo &quot;cosa&quot; ascoltiamo, ma &quot;come&quot;
lo creiamo e lo viviamo. Siamo nel pieno di una transizione dove la tecnologia
è onnipresente, ma proprio per questo sta scatenando una reazione contraria
verso l&#39;autenticità.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Sta andando verso una polarizzazione: da
un lato avremo una produzione massiva, veloce e algoritmica per il consumo
distratto; dall&#39;altro, una scena &quot;resistente&quot; fatta di artigianato
sonoro, partecipazione emotiva e ritorno al contatto umano.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Ecco
i tre binari principali su cui si sta muovendo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe;&quot;&gt;1 - &amp;nbsp;La &quot;Tsunami&quot; dell&#39;Intelligenza
Artificiale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;L&#39;IA
non è più una novità, ma un elemento strutturale. Circa un terzo dei brani
pubblicati quotidianamente (che sono ormai oltre 120.000 al giorno) è generato
interamente o parzialmente da algoritmi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Per
esempio, la &quot;musica farmaceutica&quot; per dormire, studiare o allenarsi è
ormai dominata dall&#39;IA, separandosi nettamente dalla musica
&quot;artistica&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Ma
c’è una risposta umana come reazione, sta nascendo l&#39;etichetta &quot;Human
Made&quot;. Gli ascoltatori cercano sempre di più il difetto, l&#39;emozione
imperfetta e il carisma che un software non può (ancora) replicare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe;&quot;&gt;2 - &amp;nbsp;Il Ritorno al &quot;Fisico&quot; e

lo streaming diventa saturo di contenuti &quot;spam&quot; o di bassa qualità,
il pubblico sta riscoprendo il valore del supporto fisico e dell&#39;evento dal
vivo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Oltre

i live non sono più solo esibizioni, ma esperienze immersive. Festival come il
Primavera Sound o il Sziget puntano su line-up che mescolano leggende (come i

mercato si sta frammentando. Il divario tra le pochissime superstar (alla
Taylor Swift) e la miriade di artisti indipendenti si sta allargando, ma con
una novità:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Gli
artisti indipendenti stanno smettendo di inseguire l&#39;algoritmo di Spotify per
concentrarsi su comunità ristrette ma fedelissime (i &quot;superfan&quot;) su
piattaforme come Bandcamp o tramite canali diretti (D2C).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe;&quot;&gt;CURIOSITA’:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Nel 2026 si parla molto di &quot;Musica di
Protesta 2.0&quot;, dove gli artisti tornano a usare testi impegnati per
rispondere alle ansie sociali e climatiche, un po&#39; come accadeva negli anni
&#39;70, ma con i suoni dell&#39;elettronica moderna.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

by concern for the &quot;army&quot; of professionals whose livelihoods are
threatened by the rise of AI, and by the overall quality of new releases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Indeed, in 2026, music is undergoing a radical
transformation that affects not only what we listen to, but how we create and
experience it. We are in the midst of a transition where technology is
omnipresent; however, this very ubiquity is sparking a backlash in favor of authenticity.
We are moving toward a polarization: on one hand, mass-produced, fast, and
algorithmic content for distracted consumption; on the other, a
&quot;resistant&quot; scene built on sonic craftsmanship, emotional engagement,
and a return to human connection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Here are the three main tracks on which the industry
is moving:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe;&quot;&gt;1. The AI &quot;Tsunami&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;AI is no longer a novelty; it is a structural element.
Approximately one-third of the tracks published daily (which have now surpassed
120,000 per day) are generated entirely or partially by algorithms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;For instance, &quot;pharmaceutical music&quot; for
sleeping, studying, or working out is now dominated by AI, creating a clear
divide from &quot;artistic&quot; music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;However, there is a human reaction: the &quot;Human
Made&quot; label is emerging. Listeners are increasingly seeking out flaws,
imperfect emotions, and the charisma that software cannot (yet) replicate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;2. The Return to the &quot;Physical&quot; and the
Experience&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;As streaming becomes saturated with &quot;spam&quot;
or low-quality content, the public is rediscovering the value of physical media
and live events.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Beyond Vinyl: Even CDs and cassettes have returned as
cult objects—not necessarily for the sound quality itself, but as a symbol of
belonging to a musical &quot;tribe.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Similarly, live shows are no longer just performances
but immersive experiences. Festivals like Primavera Sound or Sziget focus on
line-ups that blend legends (such as The Cure, touring this very year) with Gen
Z icons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe;&quot;&gt;3. The End of &quot;Global Superstars&quot;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The market is fragmenting. The gap between a few
mega-stars (the Taylor Swifts of the world) and the myriad of independent
artists is widening, but with a twist:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Independent artists are stopping the chase after
Spotify&#39;s algorithms to focus on small but fiercely loyal communities
(&quot;superfans&quot;) on platforms like Bandcamp or through
direct-to-consumer (D2C) channels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe;&quot;&gt;FUN FACT:&lt;/span&gt; In 2026, there is much talk about
&quot;Protest Music 2.0,&quot; where artists are returning to socially and
climatically conscious lyrics to address modern anxieties—much like in the
1970s, but reimagined through the lens of modern electronic soundscapes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;

il Rock Progressivo italiano si è aperto con vigore e diverse sorprese. Molte
le produzioni già edite, alcune delle quali firmate da giovani formazioni al
debutto: un segnale che non può che stupire e far piacere agli appassionati.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tra queste realtà
spiccano i &lt;span style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Diaspro&lt;/span&gt;. Il nome
stesso (una pietra dura nota per le venature e la resistenza) riflette la
natura della loro proposta: solida, stratificata e preziosa.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Il gruppo,
composto da Dante Campora (voce), Marcello Chiaraluce (chitarra), Giovanni Giordano
(chitarra), Andrea Manuelli (tastiere), Bruce Muirhead (basso) e Luca Grosso
(batteria), narra attraverso undici tracce un sogno che funge da terapia dopo
una delusione amorosa. Chiaraluce, leader del progetto, ha iniziato il percorso
compositivo in autonomia, circondandosi successivamente degli altri musicisti
per dare vita alla band, onorando il sound del &quot;sacro trittico&quot; del
Prog nazionale: PFM, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso e Le Orme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;“Introduzione”,
breve strumentale classicheggiante, proietta l’ascoltatore in questo mondo
evocando atmosfere simili ad “Appena un po’” della PFM, conducendo poi a
“Piccola Stazione”. Quest&#39;ultima è una struttura sonora consapevole delle
lezioni del passato (Genesis inclusi); il cantato in italiano sfoggia testi mai
banali, ma è soprattutto l&#39;architettura musicale, con i suoi cambi di tempo e i
frangenti melodici tipicamente mediterranei, a colpire. Le chitarre si lanciano
in assoli ispirati, mentre le tastiere arricchiscono il suono con enfasi,
ingredienti essenziali per questo stile intramontabile.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Con i suoi
abbondanti sette minuti, “Piccola Stazione” risulta il brano più esteso
dell’album.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;L&#39;estetica
degli anni ’70 aleggia costantemente, nonostante siano presenti intarsi più
moderni incastonati di tanto in tanto, come in “Verso La Città Grande”. Ancora
una volta, la Premiata Forneria Marconi resta il punto di riferimento
principale.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;La
delicatezza pianistica di “Salto In Alto” è toccante, impreziosita dal violino;
la cura per la melodia è fondamentale per i Diaspro, che puntano alla sostanza
senza perdersi in sterili virtuosismi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Si passa a
ritmi bossa nova in “Per Salire Su”, ma il mutamento stilistico è sempre dietro
l&#39;angolo, sfociando in un Hard Prog sorprendente dove la prova vocale di
Campora si attesta su alti livelli, lasciando intravedere l&#39;influenza del Banco
nel finale.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Divertente e
giocosa è “Piano Rialzato”, un&#39;altalena tra sonorità circensi e richiami ai
Genesis, a testimonianza di una fantasia compositiva radicata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Notevole
l&#39;efficacia narrativa di “Verso La Tana Del Gelso”, traccia strumentale tra le
più riuscite, che presenta una band coesa e immersa in continui cambi d&#39;umore e
di stile.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;L’album
procede all&#39;unisono come una lunga suite suddivisa in piccoli istanti: “Totem”,
“Gelso”, “Inferno” e “Senza Di Me” appaiono collegati e maturi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;L’esperienza
di Chiaraluce emerge in ogni nota di questo esordio, che ci presenta una realtà
da seguire con estrema attenzione. Siamo al cospetto di un eccellente esempio
di Progressive Rock italiano, ricco di idee e di una tecnica sempre al servizio
di melodie di facile assimilazione. “Diaspro” scorre piacevolmente, lasciando
nell’ascoltatore il desiderio di nuovi capitoli. Un abbondante
&quot;antipasto&quot; di trenta minuti caldamente consigliato ai più famelici.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13.5pt;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;MS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/YryqoHFCLsc&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;YryqoHFCLsc&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Versione Inglese:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;DIASPRO

great vigor and several surprises. Many productions have already been released,
some of which are by young bands making their debut—a sign that can only
astonish and delight fans of the genre. Among these emerging realities, Diaspro
stands out. The name itself (a hard stone known for its veins and resistance)
reflects the nature of their music: solid, layered, and precious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The group—composed of Dante Campora (vocals), Marcello
Chiaraluce (guitar), Giovanni Giordano (guitar), Andrea Manuelli (keyboards),
Bruce Muirhead (bass), and Luca Grosso (drums)—narrates a dream across eleven
tracks that serves as therapy following a romantic disappointment. Chiaraluce,
the project’s leader, began the compositional journey independently before
surrounding himself with other musicians to bring the band to life, honoring
the sound of the &quot;holy trinity&quot; of Italian Prog: PFM, Banco del Mutuo
Soccorso, and Le Orme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;“Introduzione,” a brief classical-style instrumental,
projects the listener into this world by evoking atmospheres similar to PFM’s “Appena
un po’,” leading into “Piccola Stazione.” The latter is a sonic structure
well-aware of the lessons of the past (Genesis included); the Italian vocals
showcase lyrics that are never trivial, but it is primarily the musical
architecture—with its time signature changes and typically Mediterranean
melodic passages—that hits the mark. The guitars launch into inspired solos
while the keyboards enrich the sound with emphasis, both essential ingredients
for this timeless style. At over seven minutes long, “Piccola Stazione” is the
most extensive track on the album.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The 1970s aesthetic lingers constantly, despite the
occasional presence of more modern flourishes, as heard in “Verso La Città
Grande.” Once again, Premiata Forneria Marconi remains the primary point of
reference. The pianistic delicacy of “Salto In Alto” is touching, embellished
by the violin; a focus on melody is fundamental for Diaspro, who aim for
substance without getting lost in sterile virtuosity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The music shifts to bossa nova rhythms in “Per Salire
Su,” but a stylistic change is always around the corner, flowing into a
surprising Hard Prog where Campora’s vocal performance reaches high levels,
revealing glimpses of Banco&#39;s influence in the finale. “Piano Rialzato” is fun
and playful, a seesaw between circus-like sounds and echoes of Genesis,
testifying to a deeply rooted compositional imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The narrative effectiveness of “Verso La Tana Del
Gelso” is remarkable; it is one of the most successful instrumental tracks,
presenting a cohesive band immersed in continuous shifts of mood and style. The
album proceeds in unison like a long suite divided into small moments: “Totem,”
“Gelso,” “Inferno,” and “Senza Di Me” appear interconnected and mature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Chiaraluce’s
experience emerges in every note of this debut, which introduces us to a
reality that should be followed with close attention. We are in the presence of
an excellent example of Italian Progressive Rock, rich in ideas and technique
always placed at the service of easily accessible melodies. “Diaspro” flows
pleasantly, leaving the listener wishing for new chapters. A generous
thirty-minute &quot;appetizer&quot; highly recommended for the most ravenous
among you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

il successo di “Dark Mirrors” (2025) e “Metamors” (2025), tornano
immediatamente i Primaluce, formazione capitanata dal polistrumentista Stefano
Primaluce, a testimonianza di un momento di grande ispirazione creativa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Attraverso
dinamiche mutevoli, “Way Of Perfection” si sviluppa come un concept album che
esplora la tensione tra disciplina e istinto, controllo e liberazione,
precisione ed emozione. Il lavoro affronta il superamento dei propri limiti e
l’eterna lotta tra luce e ombra. La line-up che ha inciso il disco vede Stefano
Primaluce (chitarre ritmiche, tastiere, cori, programmazione) affiancato da
Andrea Rocchi (chitarra solista e acustica), Marco Adami (basso), Michele
Avella (batteria) e Falco alla voce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Come
il genere impone, le dodici tracce variano da mid-tempo diretti a composizioni
articolate; non stupisce, dunque, riscontrare sonorità care a icone come Dream
Theater e Fates Warning. Nonostante l’uso di tempi dispari e la complessità
tecnica, il gruppo non rinuncia mai alla &quot;forma canzone&quot; e a
ritornelli piuttosto aperti. In questo contesto, l&#39;uso delle tastiere risulta
fondamentale per tessere tappeti sonori che conferiscono profondità ai riff di
chitarra più serrati.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Gli
oltre sette minuti di “The Wind Remains” mettono subito in mostra l’intera
perizia tecnica a disposizione del quintetto, grazie a un sound pulito e ben
prodotto. La prova vocale di Falco appare ispirata, chiara e ben modulata a
seconda della circostanza, mentre l&#39;inciso risulta decisamente accattivante.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Mitragliate
di batteria introducono “Back Into The Blue”, che evolve poi verso scenari più
solari: il titolo suggerisce un ritorno a una dimensione introspettiva, quasi
malinconica ma rigenerante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Coerentemente
con il proprio nome, “The Turning Of The Circle” (giro del cerchio) non
rappresenta solo una figura geometrica, ma una potente metafora sulla vita, il
tempo e l&#39;esperienza umana. Il brano funge da vero viaggio ciclico, sia nella
struttura musicale che nel concetto filosofico, esplorando l&#39;idea che nulla
finisca davvero, ma si trasformi: ogni fine è il seme di un nuovo inizio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;L’importanza
data dalla band alle melodie corali emerge chiaramente anche in “Countdown At
Dawn”. Altra vetrina di notevoli capacità tecniche è “Running Out Of
Yesterday”, mentre “Heart Of The Moment” attinge dalla scena americana,
sfiorando territori quasi AOR. Per incontrare un episodio più marcatamente Prog
(grazie all’uso sapiente di piano e tastiere), bisogna attendere la ballata
“When The Light Returns”. Il testo affronta il tema della resilienza: se “Back
Into The Blue” rappresentava l&#39;immersione e “The Turning Of The Circle” la
consapevolezza del ciclo, questo brano incarna il momento della rinascita. La
&quot;luce&quot; citata non è solo l&#39;alba, ma la comprensione che giunge dopo
un periodo di sofferenza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;L’album
prosegue fedele allo stile del progetto, fatta eccezione per “Echoes Of
Tomorrow”, traccia più ricercata che narra la responsabilità del presente: il
futuro non è un&#39;entità astratta, ma il risultato delle azioni che compiamo
oggi. Una menzione a parte merita la conclusiva “Where The Water Meets The
Stone”, dove la voce e i cambi d&#39;atmosfera raggiungono livelli eccellenti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Con
questo lavoro, i Primaluce regalano un piccolo gioiello, candidandosi tra le
realtà più significative della nostra scena. Un disco che metterà d’accordo gli
amanti di queste sonorità, offrendo al contempo un&#39;ottima occasione ai neofiti
per avvicinarsi a un genere capace di stupire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/2hSrkxnu-Ow&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;2hSrkxnu-Ow&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Versione Inglese:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;PRIMALUCE

“Metamors” (2025), Primaluce makes an immediate return. Led by
multi-instrumentalist Stefano Primaluce, the band proves to be in a moment of
great creative inspiration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Through shifting dynamics, “Way Of Perfection” unfolds
as a concept album exploring the tension between discipline and instinct,
control and liberation, precision and emotion. The work tackles the overcoming
of one&#39;s limits and the eternal struggle between light and shadow. The line-up
featured on the record includes Stefano Primaluce (rhythm guitars, keyboards,
backing vocals, programming), joined by Andrea Rocchi (lead and acoustic
guitars), Marco Adami (bass), Michele Avella (drums), and Falco on vocals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;As the genre demands, the twelve tracks range from
straightforward mid-tempos to intricate compositions; it is no surprise, then,
to find echoes of icons such as Dream Theater and Fates Warning. Despite the
use of odd time signatures and technical complexity, the group never abandons
the &quot;song form&quot; or relatively open choruses. In this context, the
keyboards are essential in weaving sonic textures that add depth to the tighter
guitar riffs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The seven-plus minutes of “The Wind Remains”
immediately showcase the quintet’s full technical prowess, supported by a clean
and well-produced sound. Falco’s vocal performance is inspired, clear, and
well-modulated to suit the mood, while the hook is decidedly catchy. Drum
volleys introduce “Back Into The Blue,” which then evolves into brighter
soundscapes: the title suggests a return to an introspective dimension, almost
melancholic yet regenerating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Consistent with its name, “The Turning Of The Circle”
represents more than just a geometric shape; it is a powerful metaphor for
life, time, and the human experience. The song serves as a true cyclic journey,
both in its musical structure and philosophical concept, exploring the idea
that nothing truly ends, but rather transforms: every end is the seed of a new
beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The band’s emphasis on choral melodies clearly emerges
in “Countdown At Dawn.” Another showcase of remarkable technical skill is
“Running Out Of Yesterday,” while “Heart Of The Moment” draws from the American
scene, almost touching upon AOR territory. For a more markedly Progressive
moment (thanks to the skillful use of piano and keyboards), one must wait for
the ballad “When The Light Returns.” The lyrics deal with the theme of
resilience: if “Back Into The Blue” represented immersion and “The Turning Of The
Circle” the awareness of the cycle, this track embodies the moment of rebirth.
The &quot;light&quot; mentioned is not merely the dawn, but the clarity that
arrives after a period of suffering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The album continues faithful to the project&#39;s core
style, with the exception of “Echoes Of Tomorrow,” a more sophisticated track
narrating the responsibility of the present: the future is not an abstract
entity, but the result of the actions we take today. A special mention goes to
the closing track “Where The Water Meets The Stone,” where the vocals and
atmospheric shifts reach excellent levels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;With this work, Primaluce delivers a small gem,
establishing themselves among the most significant acts of our scene. It is a
record that will satisfy fans of these sounds while offering a great
opportunity for newcomers to discover a genre that still knows how to surprise.

dei Big Big Train significa immergersi in una delle storie più resilienti e
nobili del Progressive Rock moderno. Nati nel 1990 nel Dorset, la band ha
attraversato decenni di cambiamenti, passando da un timido esordio influenzato
dai Genesis a una consacrazione internazionale avvenuta negli anni 2010. La
loro è una musica di paesaggi rurali, ingegneria vittoriana e narrazioni
squisitamente britanniche. Dopo la tragica e improvvisa scomparsa dello storico
frontman David Longdon nel 2021, il gruppo ha saputo onorare il suo lascito
trovando in Alberto Bravin una nuova voce capace di traghettare il &quot;Grande
Treno&quot; verso una nuova era di splendore, mantenendo intatta quella
capacità di far piangere e sognare contemporaneamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Con
l&#39;album &quot;Woodcut&quot;, i Big Big Train non si limitano a confermare la
propria maestria, ma firmano un manifesto di pura bellezza pastorale e
complessità emotiva.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
disco si apre con la maestosità di &quot;The Gorse Bush&quot;, un brano che
funge da ponte tra la terra e il cielo, dove gli arrangiamenti di ottoni (ormai
marchio di fabbrica del gruppo) si intrecciano con trame di chitarra acustica
cristalline.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;La
voce di Bravin brilla per controllo e calore in &quot;Skylark&quot;, un pezzo
che sembra spiccare il volo grazie a una sezione ritmica solida ma agilissima,
capace di mutare tempo senza mai spezzare l&#39;incanto melodico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;La
title track, &quot;Woodcut&quot;, è il cuore pulsante dell&#39;opera: una suite in
miniatura che racchiude tutto ciò che amiamo del Prog: narrazione mitologica,
assoli di synth mozzafiato e quel senso di meraviglia per le piccole storie
della natura.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;C&#39;è
una malinconia dolce che attraversa &quot;Silver Moon&quot;, dove il violino di
Clare Lindley danza con una grazia antica, portandoci in una dimensione fuori
dal tempo.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Non
mancano i momenti di potenza tecnica, come in &quot;Iron and Rust&quot;, dove
la band spinge sull&#39;acceleratore mostrando i muscoli senza mai scadere
nell&#39;autocelebrazione, mentre la chiusura affidata a &quot;The Last
Beacon&quot; è un commiato epico che lascia l&#39;ascoltatore con un senso di pace
profonda e la certezza che, finché ci saranno i Big Big Train, il Rock Progressivo
continuerà a essere una casa sicura per chi cerca profondità e umanità.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&quot;Woodcut&quot;

of the most resilient and noble stories of modern Progressive Rock. Founded in
1990 in Dorset, the band has navigated decades of evolution, moving from a
modest debut influenced by Genesis to international acclaim in the 2010s.
Theirs is a music of rural landscapes, Victorian engineering, and exquisitely
British narratives. Following the tragic and sudden passing of longtime
frontman David Longdon in 2021, the group has honored his legacy by finding in
Alberto Bravin a new voice capable of steering the &quot;Great Train&quot; toward
a new era of splendor, keeping intact that unique ability to move the listener
to tears and dreams simultaneously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;With the album &quot;Woodcut&quot;, Big Big Train do
more than simply confirm their mastery; they deliver a manifesto of pure
pastoral beauty and emotional complexity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The record opens with the majesty of &quot;The Gorse
Bush&quot;, a track that acts as a bridge between earth and sky, where the
brass arrangements—now a trademark of the group—intertwine with crystalline
acoustic guitar textures. Bravin’s vocals shine with control and warmth in
&quot;Skylark&quot;, a piece that seems to take flight thanks to a solid yet
incredibly agile rhythm section, capable of shifting time signatures without
ever breaking the melodic spell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The title track, &quot;Woodcut&quot;, is the beating
heart of the work: a miniature suite that encapsulates everything we love about
Prog: mythological storytelling, breathtaking synth solos, and that sense of
wonder for the small stories of nature. There is a sweet melancholy running
through &quot;Silver Moon&quot;, where Clare Lindley’s violin dances with an
ancient grace, transporting us to a dimension outside of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Moments of technical prowess are not lacking, such as
in &quot;Iron and Rust&quot;, where the band pushes the accelerator and flexes
their muscles without ever lapsing into self-indulgence. Meanwhile, the closing
track, &quot;The Last Beacon&quot;, is an epic farewell that leaves the
listener with a profound sense of peace and the certainty that, as long as Big
Big Train exists, Progressive Rock will remain a safe harbor for those seeking
depth and humanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&quot;Woodcut&quot; is not just an album; it is a
confirmation of life—a work that breathes the scent of rain-soaked woods and a
future yet to be written.

questa disamina vado a trattare una delle band più iconiche e influenti degli
ultimi decenni: Radiohead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Recensire
quest&#39;album è come descrivere il suono del ghiaccio che si scioglie o di un
cuore che impara a battere a un ritmo diverso dopo un trauma. È un disco di una
bellezza devastante, dove l&#39;elettronica spigolosa del passato lascia spazio a
orchestrazioni cinematografiche e una vulnerabilità quasi insostenibile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Se
“Kid A” era l&#39;alienazione e “In Rainbows” era il calore umano, “A Moon Shaped
Pool” è il riverbero. È un album orchestrato magistralmente da Jonny Greenwood,
dove i Radiohead sembrano finalmente in pace con la loro eredità, ripescando
brani storici dal cassetto e rivestendoli di una patina di sogno e
rassegnazione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;L’album
si apre con “Burn The Witch” e un ritmo incalzante di archi suonati col legno
(battendo le corde con il legno dell&#39;archetto). È un brano paranoico, un monito
contro il populismo e la caccia alle streghe moderna. Un inizio teso che però
non riflette il resto dell&#39;album, molto più etereo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In
“Daydreaming” il disco rivela la sua vera anima. Un loop di pianoforte ipnotico
accompagna Thom Yorke in un viaggio attraverso la perdita.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&quot;Dreamers, They Never Learn&quot; è una gemma. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Il
finale, con la voce di Yorke distorta e rovesciata che sembra dire &quot;Half
of my life&quot; (riferimento alla fine della sua relazione trentennale), è
straziante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Decks
Dark” è forse il pezzo più &quot;Radiohead&quot; nel senso classico. Una linea
di basso avvolgente e un coro che sembra fluttuare nello spazio. Parla di
un&#39;astronave che copre il cielo: una metafora perfetta per un dolore che non si
può evitare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Ed
è la volta di “Desert Island Disk”, un raro momento acustico, quasi folk.
Sembra di sentire l&#39;influenza di Nick Drake. È un brano che parla di rinascita
e di &quot;spalancare le porte&quot;, un respiro di sollievo dopo l&#39;oscurità
dei primi brani.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Ma
il motore del disco è “Ful Stop”. Un basso sintetico cupo cresce per minuti fino
a esplodere in una cavalcata Krautrock. &quot;You Really Messed Up Everything&quot;
canta Yorke, con una rabbia che però suona stanca, esaurita.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Glass
Eyes”,&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;un interludio di archi e
pianoforte. Breve, delicato, come un vetro che sta per incrinarsi. Descrive la
sensazione di scendere da un treno in un posto sconosciuto e sentirsi
spaventati dal volto delle persone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Spettacolare
anche “Identikit”, famosa per il suo ritmo spezzato e il sintetizzatore
&quot;scordato&quot; nel finale. Il coro &quot;Broken hearts make it rain&quot;
è diventato immediatamente un inno per i fan. Jonny Greenwood regala qui uno
dei suoi rari e spigolosi assoli di chitarra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Non
esulano richiami anni ’70 come nel caso di “The Numbers”, che ricorda quasi i
Led Zeppelin più acustici o Serge Gainsbourg. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;È un inno politico e ambientale: &quot;We are of the
earth, to her we do return&quot;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Gli archi qui sono
maestosi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Present
Tense” è una bossa nova spettrale. Yorke canta della necessità di ballare per
non soccombere al dolore. È un brano di una bellezza fragile, dove la chitarra
elettrica crea un intreccio di echi infinito.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Tinker
Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Thief”, un titolo
lunghissimo per un brano denso di elettronica scura e archi cinematografici che
salgono di intensità fino a un finale dissonante e disturbante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Infine
“True Love Waits”, i fan hanno aspettato vent&#39;anni per una versione in studio
di questa canzone. I Radiohead decidono di spogliarla della chitarra acustica
originale per trasformarla in una ballata di pianoforti sovrapposti. È la degna
conclusione: una preghiera disperata (&quot;Don&#39;t leave&quot;) che risuona nel
vuoto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“A
Moon Shaped Pool” non è un disco da ascoltare distrattamente. È un&#39;esperienza
immersiva. È il suono di una band che non ha più nulla da dimostrare e si
concede il lusso della pura emozione. MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/TTAU7lLDZYU&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;TTAU7lLDZYU&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Versione Inglese:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;RADIOHEAD - &amp;nbsp;A

most iconic and influential bands of recent decades: Radiohead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Reviewing this album is like describing the sound of
melting ice or a heart learning to beat at a different rhythm after a trauma.
It is a record of devastating beauty, where the jagged electronics of the past
give way to cinematic orchestrations and an almost unbearable vulnerability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;If “Kid A” was alienation and “In Rainbows” was human
warmth, “A Moon Shaped Pool” is the reverberation. It is an album masterfully
orchestrated by Jonny Greenwood, where Radiohead finally seem at peace with
their legacy, pulling historic tracks from the archives and coating them in a
patina of dreams and resignation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The album opens with “Burn The Witch” and an urgent
rhythm of strings played col legno (striking the strings with the wood of the
bow). It is a paranoid track, a warning against populism and modern-day witch
hunts. A tense start that, however, does not reflect the rest of the album,
which is far more ethereal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;In “Daydreaming”, the record reveals its true soul. A
hypnotic piano loop accompanies Thom Yorke on a journey through loss.
&quot;Dreamers, They Never Learn&quot; is a gem. The finale, with Yorke’s voice
distorted and reversed—seemingly saying &quot;Half of my life&quot; (a
reference to the end of his thirty-year relationship)—is heartbreaking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Decks Dark” is perhaps the most &quot;Radiohead&quot;
piece in the classic sense. An enveloping bassline and a choir that seems to
float in space. It speaks of a spacecraft covering the sky: a perfect metaphor
for a grief that cannot be avoided.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Next comes “Desert Island Disk”, a rare acoustic,
almost folk moment. You can almost feel the influence of Nick Drake. It is a
track that speaks of rebirth and &quot;opening doors,&quot; a sigh of relief
after the darkness of the first few songs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;But the engine of the record is “Ful Stop”. A dark
synthetic bass grows for minutes until it explodes into a Krautrock gallop.
&quot;You Really Messed Up Everything,&quot; Yorke sings, with a rage that
nevertheless sounds tired, exhausted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Glass Eyes” is a piano and string interlude. Brief,
delicate, like glass about to crack. It describes the sensation of stepping off
a train in an unknown place and feeling frightened by the faces of the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Identikit” is also spectacular, famous for its broken
rhythm and the &quot;out of tune&quot; synthesizer in the finale. The chorus
&quot;Broken hearts make it rain&quot; immediately became an anthem for fans.
Jonny Greenwood delivers one of his rare, jagged guitar solos here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;There is no lack of 1970s echoes, as in the case of
“The Numbers”, which almost recalls the more acoustic side of Led Zeppelin or
Serge Gainsbourg. It is a political and environmental hymn: &quot;We are of the
earth, to her we do return.&quot; The strings here are majestic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Present Tense” is a ghostly bossa nova. Yorke sings
of the need to dance to avoid succumbing to pain. It is a song of fragile
beauty, where the electric guitar creates an infinite tapestry of echoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar
Man Thief”, an incredibly long title for a track dense with dark electronics
and cinematic strings that rise in intensity toward a dissonant and disturbing finale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Finally, “True Love Waits”; fans waited twenty years
for a studio version of this song. Radiohead decided to strip away the original
acoustic guitar to transform it into a ballad of layered pianos. It is a worthy
conclusion: a desperate prayer (&quot;Don&#39;t leave&quot;) resonating in the
void.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“A Moon Shaped Pool” is not an album for distracted
listening. It is an immersive experience. It is the sound of a band that has
nothing left to prove and allows itself the luxury of pure emotion. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/NHDOk7lA53w&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;NHDOk7lA53w&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

musica sa adattarsi alla perfezione alle immagini, riuscendo spesso a
enfatizzarne le emozioni. Su questo tema, il batterista e compositore veneto
Francesco Tresca (Power Quest, Arthemis) vanta una profonda esperienza,
occupandosene attivamente fin dal 2014. Nel corso della sua carriera ha
realizzato colonne sonore per lungometraggi, cortometraggi e serie TV,
collezionando ben 25 premi come miglior colonna sonora su 30 candidature. Oggi
i tempi sono maturi per la pubblicazione di un album solista in cui l&#39;autore
spazia tra Progressive Rock, Art Pop e Ambient Music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Ad
accompagnarlo in questa avventura troviamo Dante Frisiello (Flyghtless) e Liam
Tarquin alle chitarre, Vladimir Pocorschi alla chitarra e Nicklas Brannstrom al
basso. Il risultato di questa collaborazione è il disco intitolato “The Unquiet
Freedom”.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Tresca,
spesso ispirato dallo stile di Nick Menza, propone otto brani in cui riversa
tutto il proprio bagaglio tecnico e artistico, lasciando l&#39;ascoltatore in
equilibrio tra immaginazione e analisi, poiché ogni traccia nasconde un
particolare approccio stilistico che merita attenzione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Negative
Black” inizia con suoni elettronici ed effetti eco, seguiti dall&#39;ingresso di
una batteria dal timbro secco; da qui si intrecciano gli altri strumenti dando
vita a una melodia di base semplice ma magnetica, inserita in un contesto
ritmico di non facile catalogazione.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Attraverso
“The Way To The Back Of The House” il sound vira verso sonorità tipiche di una
colonna sonora naturalistica: ambientazioni vaste si schiudono all&#39;orecchio di
chi ascolta attraverso suoni leggiadri e ariosi.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Con
le percussioni costantemente in primo piano, “Through Car Window” respira
grazie a tastiere avvolgenti, approdando nei territori di un Progressive Rock
raffinato e garbato, impreziosito dal valore aggiunto delle chitarre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Più
introspettiva appare “There&#39;s Something In The Corner”, dove l&#39;indole sensibile
di Tresca si esprime al meglio tra accordi dolci e atmosfere pacate; una
composizione matura che mette a nudo lo spessore culturale dell&#39;autore.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Lost
Siren” ha invece un approccio Post Rock e disegna scenari più cupi e densi, pur
mantenendo viva una piacevole linea melodica. Tra i momenti più riusciti spicca
“Tiptoe”, con la sua ritmica ponderata e sincopata su cui gli strumenti
ricamano note di grande gusto, seguita da una non troppo dissimile “Crawling”,
le cui sonorità richiamano i primi Porcupine Tree. Il viaggio si chiude con
“Moving in Between”, un ideale volo in alta quota che offre uno sguardo
panoramico e suggestivo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Senza
mai eccedere in virtuosismi fini a se stessi, Francesco Tresca firma un album
in cui riesce a distinguersi grazie a incastri sonori essenziali ma efficaci.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;È
un lavoro che coccola l&#39;animo e trasporta l&#39;ascoltatore in scenari vasti,
invitandolo a fermarsi e osservare con autentico piacere.

to imagery, often heightening the emotions within. Venetian drummer and
composer Francesco Tresca (Power Quest, Arthemis) is deeply well-versed in this
craft, having been actively involved in the field since 2014. Over the course
of his career, he has composed soundtracks for feature films, shorts, and TV
series, earning an impressive 25 awards for Best Soundtrack out of 30
nominations. Today, the time is right for the release of a solo album where the
artist explores the intersections of Progressive Rock, Art Pop, and Ambient
Music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Joining him on this journey are Dante Frisiello
(Flyghtless) and Liam Tarquin on guitars, Vladimir Pocorschi on guitar, and
Nicklas Brannstrom on bass. The result of this collaboration is the album
titled “The Unquiet Freedom”. Frequently inspired by the style of Nick Menza,
Tresca presents eight tracks into which he pours his entire technical and
artistic repertoire. He leaves the listener balanced between imagination and
analysis, as each track hides a specific stylistic approach that demands
attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“Negative Black” opens with electronic sounds and echo
effects, followed by the entrance of a dry-timbred drum kit; from here, the
other instruments intertwine to create a simple yet magnetic melody, set within
a rhythmic context that defies easy categorization. Through “The Way To The
Back Of The House”, the sound shifts toward tones typical of a nature
documentary soundtrack: vast environments unfold to the listener’s ear through
graceful, airy sounds. With percussion consistently in the foreground, “Through
Car Window” breathes through sweeping keyboards, arriving in the territories of
refined and elegant Progressive Rock, further enriched by the added value of
the guitars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;“There&#39;s Something In The Corner” appears more
introspective, allowing Tresca’s sensitive nature to shine through sweet chords
and calm atmospheres—a mature composition that reveals the author&#39;s cultural
depth. “Lost Siren”, on the other hand, takes a Post-Rock approach, sketching
darker and denser scenarios while maintaining a pleasant melodic flame. Among
the most successful moments is “Tiptoe”, featuring a deliberate and syncopated
rhythm over which the instruments tastefully weave &quot;drops&quot; of notes.
It is followed by the somewhat similar “Crawling”, whose sound recalls
early-period Porcupine Tree. The journey concludes with “Moving in Between”, an
ideal high-altitude flight offering a suggestive, panoramic view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Without ever resorting to self-indulgent virtuosity,
Francesco Tresca delivers an album where he stands out through simple yet
effective sonic interlocking. It is a work that cradles the soul and transports
the listener into vast landscapes, inviting them to pause and observe with
genuine pleasure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/QXS97SeU_zM&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;QXS97SeU_zM&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

la storia della musica si manifesta con tale autorevolezza, il cast che le dà
vita non può che essere stellare. La band guidata da Beppe Crovella rappresenta
una delle realtà che hanno segnato indelebilmente il Jazz-Prog italiano, al
pari di formazioni iconiche come Perigeo, Agorà e Bella Band. In occasione del
cinquantesimo anniversario della nascita del gruppo — avvenuta con lo
straordinario esordio di &quot;Tilt&quot; nel 1974 — gli Arti &amp;amp; Mestieri
tornano in pompa magna. Questa celebrazione onora una carriera d&#39;eccellenza che
è stata, e continua a essere, un punto di riferimento stilistico per intere
generazioni di musicisti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&quot;D-Brane&quot;
è un dono prezioso per gli ascoltatori: una raccolta di brani inediti che vede
la partecipazione di quasi tutti i musicisti che hanno militato nella band,
rendendo l&#39;organico di questo progetto unico nella storia del genere. Hanno
partecipato alle registrazioni: Furio Chirico (batteria, percussioni), Gigi
Venegoni (chitarra, tastiere), Arturo Vitale (sax — registrazioni storiche
effettuate prima della scomparsa nel 2024), Giovanni Vigliar (violino,
tastiere), Marco Gallesi (basso), Beppe Crovella (piano, tastiere), Piero
Mortara (piano, tastiere, fisarmonica), Roberto Puggioni (basso), Marco Cimino
(piano, tastiere), Umberto Mari (basso), Toti Canzoneri (flauto), Alfredo
Ponissi (sax), Iano Nicolo’ (voce, loops, samplers), Marco Roagna (chitarre),
Diego Mascherpa (sax), Lautaro Acosta (violino), Gabriele Tommaso (chitarre) e
Giuseppe Vitale (tastiere).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
titolo dell&#39;album funge da perfetta metafora della visione musicale del gruppo:
quattro forze della natura che orbitano nell&#39;universo, espandendosi e
contraendosi attraverso molteplici dimensioni. È il risultato di una creatività
senza confini, lanciata verso l&#39;infinito. L&#39;opera si compone di sedici tracce
registrate in studio, frutto di una collaborazione corale che abbraccia
l&#39;intera storia della band, dal primo disco ai giorni nostri. Si tratta di
&quot;perle&quot; rimaste a lungo nell&#39;ombra che finalmente vedono la luce,
sottraendosi all&#39;oblio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;I
quasi ottanta minuti di musica si aprono con &quot;Salto Con L&#39;Hashtag&quot;,
dove il violino (marchio di fabbrica del sound Jazz Rock degli Arti &amp;amp;
Mestieri) regala brividi immediati. Uno strumentale in pieno stile della band
che si dimostra oggi ancor più matura e consapevole. Nota di merito per la
sezione ritmica di Chirico, sorprendente per vigore e freschezza, e per il
pregevole assolo di chitarra. L&#39;energia di &quot;Light Metal&quot;,
caratterizzata da un incipit che richiama le sonorità della PFM, si sprigiona
con forza pur mantenendo momenti di grande riflessione tipici del Progressive
Rock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Il
Jazz Rock emerge in tutto il suo splendore in &quot;Nostradamus&quot;, grazie a
un sax libero ed espressivo. L&#39;album alterna con sapienza passaggi delicati a
strutture complesse: la dolcezza di &quot;Elegia&quot;, il lirismo pianistico
di &quot;Too Soon Too Late&quot; e il calore di &quot;Algarve&quot;. La
struggente &quot;Un Giro Ancora&quot; si contrappone alla ricercatezza di
&quot;Beach Dance&quot;, mentre le fughe elettriche de &quot;L’Ultimo Giorno
D’Inverno&quot; e la sperimentazione di &quot;Constante Cosmica
Frammenti&quot;, brano corale dove le voci e una ritmica pirotecnica si
inseguono incessantemente, sorprendono per originalità.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Un
momento di profonda commozione è rappresentato da &quot;A Uno Di Noi&quot;,
dedicato alla memoria di Arturo Vitale; un passaggio in cui è davvero difficile
trattenere le lacrime. Il disco tocca anche territori più moderni con
&quot;Understage&quot;, che rimanda alle fughe jazzistiche di
&quot;Mescalito&quot;, altra vetta qualitativa di &quot;D-Brane&quot;. Se
&quot;Il Lungo Addio&quot; offre aperture solari, la title track proietta
l&#39;ascoltatore direttamente nel cosmo. Come da tradizione per il mercato estero,
l&#39;edizione giapponese include la bonus track funky &quot;Improvisation For
Arturo&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;In
conclusione, &quot;D-Brane&quot; si candida autorevolmente a essere uno dei
dischi dell&#39;anno. Non solo per il valore storico della formazione, ma per
l&#39;altissima qualità delle composizioni. È un contenitore di emozioni che spazia
veramente verso l&#39;infinito: un&#39;iniziativa artistica straordinaria che merita
solo applausi. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;MS&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/RCtfqgMTBD0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;RCtfqgMTBD0&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Versione Inglese:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;ARTI

cast bringing it to life can only be stellar. The band led by Beppe Crovella
represents one of the entities that have left an indelible mark on Italian
Jazz-Prog, standing alongside iconic groups such as Perigeo, Agorà, and Bella
Band. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the band&#39;s birth—marked by
the extraordinary 1974 debut &quot;Tilt&quot;—Arti &amp;amp; Mestieri return in
grand style. This celebration honors an excellent career that has been, and
continues to be, a stylistic touchstone for generations of musicians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&quot;D-Brane&quot; is a precious gift for listeners:
a collection of unreleased tracks featuring nearly every musician who has ever
been part of the band, making the lineup of this project unique in the history
of the genre. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The recording sessions included: Furio Chirico
(drums, percussion), Gigi Venegoni (guitar, keyboards), Arturo Vitale (sax —
historical recordings made prior to his passing in 2024), Giovanni Vigliar
(violin, keyboards), Marco Gallesi (bass), Beppe Crovella (piano, keyboards),
Piero Mortara (piano, keyboards, accordion), Roberto Puggioni (bass), Marco
Cimino (piano, keyboards), Umberto Mari (bass), Toti Canzoneri (flute), Alfredo
Ponissi (sax), Iano Nicolo’ (vocals, loops, samplers), Marco Roagna (guitars),
Diego Mascherpa (sax), Lautaro Acosta (violin), Gabriele Tommaso (guitars), and
Giuseppe Vitale (keyboards).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The album title serves as a perfect metaphor for the
group&#39;s musical vision: four forces of nature orbiting the universe, expanding
and contracting through multiple dimensions. It is the result of boundless
creativity launched toward infinity. The work consists of sixteen studio
tracks, the fruit of a choral collaboration spanning the band&#39;s entire history,
from their first album to the present day. These are &quot;gems&quot; that
remained in the shadows for a long time and have finally come to light, escaping
oblivion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The nearly eighty minutes of music open with
&quot;Salto Con L&#39;Hashtag&quot;, where the violin—the trademark of the Arti
&amp;amp; Mestieri Jazz Rock sound—delivers immediate chills. This instrumental, in
the band&#39;s signature style, reveals a group that is even more mature and
self-aware today. Special mention goes to Chirico’s rhythm section, which is
surprisingly vigorous and fresh, and to the exquisite guitar solo. The energy
of &quot;Light Metal&quot;, featuring an intro reminiscent of PFM, unleashes
its power while maintaining the moments of deep reflection typical of
Progressive Rock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Jazz Rock emerges in all its glory in
&quot;Nostradamus&quot; through a free and expressive saxophone. The album
skillfully alternates delicate passages with complex structures: the sweetness
of &quot;Elegia&quot;, the piano lyricism of &quot;Too Soon Too Late&quot;, and
the warmth of &quot;Algarve&quot;. The poignant &quot;Un Giro Ancora&quot;
contrasts with the sophistication of &quot;Beach Dance&quot;, while the
electric flights of &quot;L’Ultimo Giorno D’Inverno&quot; and the
experimentation of &quot;Constante Cosmica Frammenti&quot;—a choral piece where
voices and pyrotechnic rhythms chase each other incessantly—are strikingly
original.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;A moment of profound emotion is represented by &quot;A
Uno Di Noi&quot;, dedicated to the memory of Arturo Vitale; a passage where it
is truly difficult to hold back tears. The record also explores more modern
territories with &quot;Understage&quot;, which recalls the jazz-inflected runs
of &quot;Mescalito&quot;, another high point of &quot;D-Brane&quot;. While
&quot;Il Lungo Addio&quot; offers bright, solar openings, the title track projects
the listener directly into the cosmos. Following the tradition for
international markets, the Japanese edition includes the funky bonus track
&quot;Improvisation For Arturo&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;In conclusion, &quot;D-Brane&quot; is already a strong
contender for album of the year. This is not only due to the band&#39;s historical
significance but also to the exceptional quality of the compositions. It is a
vessel of emotions that truly spans toward infinity: an extraordinary artistic
initiative that deserves nothing but applause. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;MS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
